Hello!
I have a Swedish Emergency Flight Ration from 1951. This ration was in the lifeboats with some other supplies inside the planes. unfortunately my ration is almost empty. Only a paper with the contents listed is left.
Here can you see a better picture on it
In English it says:
Emergency ration
FOR FLYING PERSONAL
"no smoker"
Contents:
Rationbag
Chocolate ( 2 bars + 1 50 gram-bite)
Candy
Caramel
Gum
Dextrose
Cube suger
Coffe
Salt tablets
Matches
Skin lotion
Painkiller pills (red packaging)
Stimulant pills (no color packaging)
Seasick pills ( yellow packaging)
needle and thread
Steel wire
Packed day 1/3 1951 by??? F.18
But I have once of the chocolate bars!
I buy it some weeks ago on "tradera" (Swedish Ebay).
The chocolate weight 50 gram (~2 ounces) and made by Cloetta ( a Swedish candy manufacturer)
I hope you enjoy this little story!

Super Neat! I love the chocolate says "reserve" chocolate! Tinned rations are the coolest.

I imagine all that really needs to be in there is gum loaded with methadrine. Energy, confidence, no hunger, gum takes care of thirst. Crash land and enough gum you run away in inhuman speeds while on fire, looking for bear's ass to kick.
