And for my WW2 issued watches these
A member of MWR Patty A gave me these from a relative who joined the Canadian Airforce before the USA got into WW2 and then went to the US Army Air Corps when the USA got into the war.
Watches issued during WW2 were the wings above were issued about the same time.
This last ones interesting the first Waltham issued in WW2 but to the RAF with a Waltham movement in a Dennison Case. When Waltham started in the 1800's in the USA Dennison was partners with Waltham then left to go to England with Tremont Watch Co then went into watch case manufacturing so like the Companies got back together in WW2 for this watch a cool connection.

Great memorabilia. Those Czech and Russian (especially the women) pilots were true heroes.
