The standard military sidearm for pilots was the 38 caliber revolver. The 45 Govt. Model was the rage, but was always in short supply. Ground Combat units were supposed to get priority and wartime production couldn't keep up with demand. Paratroopers and other service members sometimes purchased their own 45's or preferred pistols. 45 cal Govt Models did make it to some aviation units either directly or from begging, borrowing, trading, or stealing.
