[Milsurplus] Gibson Girl Kite

[Al Klase]

We went round and round on these radios on one of the groups some years 
ago.  One person maintained that there was no recorded instance of 
anybody being rescued by using a Gibson Girl.  I don't remember anyone 
refuting this.  Seems odd considering the number deployed.  Does anyone 
have any info?
