Re: Flare 1942
That was a use-by date, although I have no idea how carefully that was adhered to. In theory, you could say that your crash must pre-date the date on the cartridge although, in practice, I don't know how much attention was paid to the date by which it should be used. I wouldn't think you could rely upon this as a definitie pointer.
By the way, I have one from an October 1940 Me 109 crash and the use-by date is June 1944. Therefore, there must have been at least four years from manufacture to its use-by date. I just add that for what its worth!
