I don't know about the other services, but the Air Force allows PRK corrective eye surgery for pilots and crews but not Lasik. It also depends on what kind of pilot you want to be. The requirement of fighter aircrafts is certainly stricter than C130 propeller cargo plane.
First of all there was no branch called the Air Force during World War 2 in any of the Allied Forces. They were either Army Air Force, Marine Air Force and Navy Air Forces and the Brits added the word Royal to their forces. If you added up all the "air forces" of Russia, The US, The UK and other nations you would have a total that could surpass several hundred thousand. The Germans and Italians had aviators too. If you add them then you definitely surpass many hundreds of thousand of pilots flying during World War 2.
Need to know more information - is it a parachute packed for a paratrooper, a pilot's survival chute, a cargo chute, an emergency seat chute, or ???? But basic answer is - a pilot's chute or a paratrooper's chute would definitely be worth plenty! Cargo chutes are generally of much less collector interest.
LOTS!!! You have to go through years of training to even be considered. You also have to be very smart, hard worker, etc. There's glider training, arms training, air-engine training, and more.

no, there was not advanced enough equipment for autopilot to take place. it requires the use of a computer, which back then they simply did not have. even autopilots these days aren't very smart, you need tell it where to fly, how fast to fly, how high to fly, vertical airspeed ect...
No, you do not need to have 20/20 vision to join the Air Force. However, there are vision requirements that need to be met for specific roles within the Air Force. In some cases, vision correction such as glasses or contact lenses may be allowed.

An airforce pilot needs to have good vision and be able to withstand extreme amounts of physical and emotional stress. They also need to have previous pilot experience and be a good pilot.

Yes, pilots need to be glasses and contacts free for their own safety and for the safety of the crew flying with the pilot. They have to pass a distance and close up eye test.
No, but you'll need to have corrective lenses that allow you to pass an eye test during the medical examination that is necessary to receive a pilot's certificate (in the U.S.).
20/40 or better in each eye separately, with or without correction. Color vision as needed to safely perform airman duties.

Yes, the pilot needs special training in being able to maintain consciousness with all the g force.
Some jobs are not open to people with certain vision problems. Especially positions such as pilot, where excellent vision is required.
