COMMENTS ON MY HANDS
IT TAKES A LOT OF BUFFING AT HIGH HEAT TO RESTORE CASES.
DURING THAT PROCESS THE ROUGE IS ACTUALLY BUFFED INTO THE SKIN
ONE HAS TO “FEEL” THE PIECE TO GET IT RIGHT. MY HANDS ARE
USED TO CASE TEMPERATURES THAT ARE SO HOT THEY CAN BURN PAPER
AS A RESULT OF THIS FACT, IT TAKES DAYS TO GET THE ROUGE OUT OF
MY HANDS. SO IF YOU SEE PICS OF MY HANDS, KNOW IT IS SEMI-PERMANENT.

FIRST WE HAVE THE
WALTHAM
A-11
HACKING
AVIATION MILITARY WATCH
THE A-11 HAS A CLAIM TO FAME
Bomber and fighter crews and pilots required the ability to mission with time. The most crucial contribution to an Allied victory was the delivery of ordinance across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Pacific over land and sea.
For critical timing the United States Army/Navy Air Forces utilized the A-11 Hacking Wrist watch.
The A-11 was a specification and US production standard for mainly US Air Corps wrist watches that were produced under contract with the US Government War department by Elgin, Bulova and Waltham.
Though most design aspects were universal:
Black dial, white hands, a hand wound hacking movement with center sweep second hand, same minute and hour hands, hour numbers from 1 to 12, a second chapter scale with smaller minute/second numbers in increments of 10 on the outside edge of the dial, accuracy of 30 seconds per day at room temperature was contract specified, there were MINOR case and dial/hands variations, SUCH AS COIN BEZEL VS SMOOTH BEZEL.

Grade 582 1/30-second timer used by the US Army-Airforce and known as Watch. Navigation (Ground Speed) Type A-8.
One of its most important uses of the A-8 was for navigation. Air speed indicators on WWII aircraft were controlled by air being forced into the air speed indicator as you flew your plane. The problem was that as you gained altitude less and less air entered the device and there was always a wind blowing and your speed relative to the ground is going to be either lower or higher depending on whether you are flying into the wind or with the wind.
To make corrections and get your actual speed relative to the ground you needed to do some arithmetic. You had to figure your actual ground-speed and compare it to the airspeed indicator and then adjust your navigation calculations accordingly. The pilot or navigator would pick out, say, a pair of known parallel roads or other landmarks about 5 to 10 miles apart early in your flight and the measure the distance between them using the scale on a map, they would then click this 10 second timer on and then off as they flew from one to the other. Some basic [for those that were trained] calculations and division and they had their actual ground speed.
