Re: Flare 1942

Am not sure what you mean by "only pilots of the sea" used such cartridges?

Flare pistols were standard issue on all operational L/W aircraft. Pistols were fitted into the aircraft, sometimes carried by pilots on their person and also part of the survival strores in a metal canister in rubber dinghys for multiple crews.
