Just scored mine last month . . .
. . . from the original owner, who bought it at a PX in Thailand when he was in the service during the Vietnam war.
He's the third guy from the left . . .
. . . standing in the front row. Not a pilot at the time; he was in electronics maintenance. He learned to fly while in the Air Force, though, and became a commercial pilot after leaving the service. The Flightmaster was on his wrist while flying until he changed careers in '83, and then sat in a drawer for decades, taken out occasionally for winding. He decided to sell last year so that another person could enjoy it.
At my watchmaker's now for service, and I hope to be wearing it by this coming weekend.
Cordially,
Art
