The US Army issues several types of knives, and in addition to that soldiers can carry their own knife or knives. Most popular and widespread models are Buck M9 field knife, which also doubles as a bayonet, Kabar and Ontario military knives. During Vietnam era SOG bowie was issued as a standard knife.

RE US Army Air Forces - why plural?

Possibly, because right in the middle of WW2, the US Army Air CORPS changed it's name to US Army Air FORCE...and then two years AFTER WW2, in 1947, the US Army Air Force separated from the US Army and became it's own separate branch of service; the USAF. So, from 1941 thru 1947, there were THREE US Air Forces! Any US serviceman being discharged, promoted, using his GI bill to purchase a house, etc. may have joined the US Army Air CORPS in 1941, fought WW2 while a member of the US Army Air FORCE...then did his "twenty years" and retired from the US Air Force in 1961.


What is a knuckle knife?

There was a trench knife issued to US Army troops that was a knife that had a "Brass Knuckles" handle. Brass Knuckles is a brass "ring" that you slip over your hand, each finger going into a loop. This is used for hand-to-hand fighting. The knife had this same construction as part of the handle/grip. I'm not sure if this was an official Army issue. The Army preferred the soldier carry a bayonet that would fit onto the rifle. This brass knuckle trench knife couldnot do this.
