=== M1926 Inflatable Life Preserver Belt === The M1926 Life Preserver belt was issued to US infantry where they were on ships or near the water, in particular amphibious landings such as D-Day. The belt had two {{CO2}} bottles that could be activated to inflate the belt if needed, or it could be blown up manually with a tube, if the {{CO2}} bottles failed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=44th Collectors Avenue - US Navy M1926 inflatable floatation belt / Life preserver - 08/25/1943 |url=http://www.44thcollectorsavenue.com/Militaria/WWII/US/Field-gear-and-equipment/US2-F-000005.html |access-date=2023-01-04 |website=www.44thcollectorsavenue.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=USN Life Preserver Belt |url=http://www.theoverlordcollection.co.uk/detail/life-belt.php?view=2 |access-date=2023-01-04 |website=www.theoverlordcollection.co.uk}}</ref>
