WWII Map Light? US or foreign?
Article about: I ran across what appears to be a map light it has a switch that turns the light to red and it has a lanyard. It doesn't have any markings and it might not even be military but I cannot find

hi this is US Air Force Pilots Pen Light

What era is it? I tried Army Air Corps and Navigator light but did not try Air Force. Is it Korean War era?

Top: Flashlight, Penlight Style, Pilots. Black lens bezel rotates for Red or White light.
2nd from top: Unmarked Penlight
Bottom two: Green & Yellow 1952 Pen Flashlights made by Justrite Manufacturing Co.
U.S. Navy, U.S., and U.S.A.F explosion proof flashlights. These have the same lamp keeper that the MX-991\U based flashlights have.

I would also add US Navy/Marine Corps Aviators.
They were carried on their flight suits.
I have one from the 80's that I got from a friend who worked in flight equipment.
