Hard to say with the markings A.F.U.S. ARMY stamp. I'd bet the A.F. part stands for Air Force but then the US Army throws me off as I don't think they were integrated. Air Force was air, Army was land and Navy at sea. Perhaps this model was issued to the AF and Arrmy forces.Hard to say who may have used it.

As you rightly say Shawn, AF is Air Force, followed by United States Army.
Usually is known as USAAF, or United States Army Air Force, during WW2.
