Ww2 era US military aircraft compass identification help

[Ryan98]

Hi all, I recently stumbled upon and purchased this compass. I believe it to be from a WW2 era US military aircraft, but I do not know which one. I really have no idea what it is from, I may even be wrong about it being aircraft related. Hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction! Thank you all in advance! Pictures are attached.

This is a typical post WWII aircraft standby compass MS17983-2. Commonly made by AirPath. It has been used across many USAF and USN aircraft and helicopters since, but not during WWII. Look at any warbird flight manual after WWII and you'll likely find it mounted at the top of the windscreen.

Aircraft Pilot's Standby Compass Note that the linked webpage says "aka B-16 compass", which is incorrect. The B-16 is larger, different body shape, and is WWII-era.
