 The Air Corps started producing flashlights of their own design in 1941. The early types were for inspection and maintenance and were rather large. With the A-6 series, the AAF desired to have a handy pen light flashlight for illumination of maps and airplane equipment in flight. The A-6B was standardized on March 8, 1944, then changed to limited standard on July 18, 1945. It was made of plastic material called "Tenite II", used 2 -"AA" batteries, had a selectable red filter for night use, and an attached combination switch and pocket clip and lanyard.
