The military pilot - this is one of the most expensive military specialists in the fact that neither has a direct sense. During the Second World War, the German command was seriously concerned about the potential depletion of military personnel. With over experience of the First World War, the Germans found an unusual solution to the problem.
From the outset, the Battle of Britain, the German command was concerned about the upcoming losses among the Luftwaffe pilots. Many of them were condemned to die in a direct battle, but because of the crash in the sea and it is impossible to survive for a long time in the waters of the English Channel. An elegant way out of this problem found a German ace of World War I, Ernst Udet, who offered supplemented by a full-time pilots rescue system consisting of the search teams, special rescue buoys.

It was assumed that in the case of the crash, the pilots may try to fall closer to the buoy, and then try to get to the swimming asylum. Once in the shelter, the pilots had to pick a special balloon, which would give the scouts and search ships to see that the board design, there are people. Moreover, for supplying a signal are provided signaling pistols with rockets.
Inside the buoy was well protected room, which, thanks to an impressive inventory allowed to survive a group of 4 people for about a week. On board were the stocks of food, fresh water and medical supplies in case if the pilot will need medical assistance.
