John, are those 4 holsters on your #24 post (Page 17) also from 1940
catalog or the one you say is undated? #624 $4.24, #650 $2.75,
#645 $3.25, and #640 $3.75.
They appear to be the exact same 4 as Red shows in post #20 from
his 1944 catalog. #624 $7.00, #650 $5.00, #645 $6.00, and #640
the price was cut off. The price increase over the 4 years would seem
about right with wartime inflation and all.

Red, the Army Air Corps became an independent branch, the U. S.
Air Force in 1947. The Navy had their own air force that flew the
planes off the carriers except for the Jimmy Doolittle raid. Those
were Army Air Corps crews. So, it's doubtful Wally would have
served on a ship. More likely at a Army Air Corps field on some
island, or islands, in the Pacific.
