Handbook of Ordnance Data
Permalink   

Hello,

I came across this fascinating ebook at GoogleBooks and had to mention it here. It is a formerly confidential US Ordnance Department document entitled Handbook of Ordnance Data and dated November 15, 1918.� There are photos and descriptive texts for just about every weapon system used by the US Army during WWI.� Artillery, tanks, grenades, mortars, sabres, machine guns, aircraft bombs, small arms, trucks, tractors, body armor and more!� There is a bit on European arms and equipment mentioned as well, for comparison purposes.� Over 500 pages including the index, 226 images of equipment, 43 tables of equipment data.

P.S. - The discussion and photos of body armor developed for the trenches is very interesting in and of itself.� It begins on page 413.

Hello MarkV

�

� This is a great book, for reference material on the American Army, I am fortunate to own an original Hardback version of this book, along with others on the same subject. For any one interested in The American Army, I recommend downloading this one for your collection.

�

All the Best

Tim R.
