1969002680Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1969. FIrst edition thus. Very good.

During the Vietnam War in the mid-1960s the Army began issuing what was known as the XM16A1 assault rifle to its infantry units. Soon severe problems began emerging mostly due to improper instructions and cleaning kits the biggest one being "failure to extract." That necessitated numerous improvements and in 1967 the rifle was standardized as M16A1. Meanwhile cartoonist and author William Eisner 1917 - 2005 worked with The Pentagon for years producing teaching tools in a cartoon format easily understandable and relevant isuch as the current booklet in which a female narrator instructed the soldiers on the proper care for their rifles. Humorous and appealing chapter titles included: "How to Strip Your Baby" "All the Way with Neglige" and "Putting Maggie Together." A copy of the book was issued to practically every GI serving in Vietnam. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback books

193946634Shanghai: Nishimura Company 1939. Edition not stated. Quarto 26.5cm; black simulated leather stamped in red and gilt in brown paper slipcover; unpaginated photo-illustrated plates w/ rice paper overlays. Wear minor scuffs and soiling to boards; toning and foxing intermittent throughout text especially on overlays; some overlays creased or torn. Slipcover worn and chapped with abrasions and two large one repaired tears across front panel. Photo-illustrated pastedowns and endpapers. Very Good in Good slipcover. All text in Japanese with some obsolete/antiquated kana/kanji oriented right to left. This is a privately-issued commemorative yearbook-type photo album shashin-cho published on behalf of the Imperial Japanese Army medical forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War 1937-1945. Specifically it was produced for those who served under military physician captains/commanding officers Nobuo Isa and Tetsuo Fukaya who were stationed in or near Shanghai at the time.<br/><br/>By July 1939 the Imperial Japanese Army was beginning to feel the impact of its own mounting casualties and costs; the Chinese Red Army would launch a major offensive later that November. While the Japanese occupation of Shanghai was notably brutal there is little evidence of violence in this album. However some photographs do depict the aftermath of battle with ruined buildings and soldiers being treated for injuries. Other subjects are mundane in nature: Staff and group portraits hospitals and other facilities physicians at work company events and ceremonies. Also includes photographs of Shanghai and a fold-out map of the Hangzhou Bay area. Apparently not cataloged in OCLC or available commercially as of November 2019. Nishimura Company unknown books

19598561bdWashington DC: The American Ordnance Association 1959. Tall octavo paperbound stiff navy blue stapled wrappers uncut 32 pp. From Foreword: The American Ordnance Association takes pride in presenting this precis the second in a series of monographs on the armament used in the American Civil War. The strategy and tactics of that conflict can be understood in their true light only when the capabilities and limitations of thefighting equipment are known. As far as ammunition is concerned the great complexity of the subject can only be appreciated by students of the many battels who try to identify some specimen offered for inspection. Practically all of the thousands of books that have been written about the American Civil War treat it from the Adjutant General’s point of view -- a concern with personnel -- or from the eminence of the strategist and tactician. Students and historians of the conflict have found no convenient source for official descriptions of the weapons their ammunition or performance.

19618559bdWashington DC: The American Ordnance Association 1961. Tall octavo paperbound stiff stapled tan wrappers uncut 31 pp. Fine. From Foreword: Several years before the hundredth anniversary of the American Civil War the American Ordnance Association planned a series of monographs on the weapons of that conflict. The project has a twofold purpose. First to commemorate the event in some unique but appropriate way; secondly to make available to students of the Civil War authentic data on the characteriestics of the weapons with which the battles of that war were fought. The present work is devoted to cavalry weapons -- and with good purpose. As all students of strategy and tactics know the Civil War was an historic example of mobility reconnaissance and fast maneuver. Many of its battles rank in history as classical examples which have been used as guides by military leaders of all nations. In no area is this more cogent than that of cavalry tactics. Those tactics were dependent not only upon the skill of the cavalry commander the bravery of the individual cavalryman and the condition of his mount but also upon the capabilities of the wapons with which the units were equipped. Thus a knowledge of the military characterisitcs of the cavalry weapons of the time is essential to a proper appraisal of the decisions of cavalry commanders and the outcome of those decisions. In this respect the military characteristics of all wapons of all battles of all wars are basic elements in appraising the final outcome. It has been so in all history; it was especially so in the cavalry engagements of the American Civil War. The American Ordnance Association, 1961. unknown books
