8th Air force Pilots Distinguished Service 1942-1944 Watch


Outgunned & out performed by luftwaffe planes, this was an incredibly dangerous job to hold with low survival rate. Qualified pilots were in short supply so they were sent back into the meat grinder time and time again. With only 12-14 seconds worth of ammunition for their main and only gun. It was common to be shot down on the return to base; out of ammo and with your back was exposed to the faster Messerschmidt the Germans had deployed. This watch is a symbol of the bravery and dedication of the airmen who served in the force, showcasing the theme of the famous & honorable 8th and the holds historical significance being commissioned only for surviving pilots who ran more than 10 survived planned missions or a total of 20 sorties. A valuable piece for collectors or military enthusiasts, this watch pays tribute to the sacrifices made by the pilots in the skies during the war who had made it home. And bears the initials E. A. R. This watch is in new condition never worn.
