Survival On Land And Sea, 1944

Survival On Land And Sea was a survival manual prepared for the U.S. Navy by the Ethnographic Board and the staff of The Smithsonian Institution, in 1944.  It was written for sailors and aircrew who might find themselves in the wilderness of the arctic, the jungle or the vastness of the ocean.  While it is an older book, it is still an excellent research tool and covers a wide variety of topics. 

I personally found that the section on how to use the sun and stars to find direction was very useful.

This book can be found, occasionally, on the used book market.  Since it can be difficult to find, here is the web address where an electronic version of this book can be found.
