Here is an electrical Directional Gyro/Turn Indicator marked AF USARMY (Air Forces US Army), Type C-1. According to the Maintenance Interchangeability Cross Reference Charts of the Air Forces US Army, the C-1 Directional Gyro was used in versions of the Curtis P-40N Warhawk and Bell P-39N Airacobra Fighters and the A-30 Martin Baltimore light bomber. The serial # prefix starts with AF-43, likely made for an Air Force order during 1943.
