Semi-auto or revolver?

From what I’ve seen, Navy and Marine Corps pilots usually carried a Victory Model S&W.38 revolver. Army Air Force issued M1911 .45 Autos.

you rarely see photographic evidence of army pilots with revolvers or navy pilots with autos.

I was Army aircrew.  Between 1987 and 1990, I received a S&W .38 revolver, then a M1911, then a Colt .38 revolver marked to the Border Patrol with no rifling left, then a M9.

 

IOW, total crap shoot.
