I'm just an Egor army brat never qualified as an enlisted man but raised on two army forts the paper you have is anything during and after the second world war dad had all his paper too and many were of this type as they were personally identifying feature in them a class a pass was the best and was probably given to a man that was fresh out of the war zone and was given priority in what would only be a short time off duty. antiaircraft artillery was a ground outfit. antiaircraft was also so used at sea and they got combat pay for the hours of live fire in the war zone it paid better then normal pay during the war the navy made g.i. get more money under live fire was told to me by a bull Halsey group at sea at the coffee shop, but your pass is are hard one to get as a souvenir

Ok what makes you think Civil War, take a history couse planes didn't come about in warfare until WW1, and even back then they were designed to do recon and scouting. And this is what makes me mad, everyone that has anything military thinks its WW2. I have seen people who claim plastic canteens that says TAIWAN on them are from WW2. It should have a name and serial number on it if it is a pass on and off base. Odds are it isn't over 50 years old. That equals 1956, meaning that the only big wars that have happened since then are Vietnam and the Middle East. If it isn't a pass on and off base it is a security clearence for a vehicle most likely. Next time do your research before you ask a question, don't assume its WW2 unless it has a date of 1941-1945, and defenatly don't assume it is CW when it says "aircraft" on it, the only aircraft they had was balloons. As far as worth its worth a nickel. Go in Christ

It is definitely a WWII Class Pass for getting off base for liberty. I was issued by some Antiaircraft organization. And having the title "Pass" indicates it was US Army. The Marines and Navy had Liberty Cards.
It seems that it was from Fort Totten, NY.

Sounds like anywhere from WW 1 to about 1960's with the John Pershing Anti Aircraft Missle batterys.
You need to find a local muesuem, or go to the local retirement center and find some guys who've spent time in the miltiary, ask them when you show them
