Light blue printed softcovers minor edgewear dustsoiling very minor creasing to corners still VG copy from the library of former Sergeant Errol George Sinclair 1895-1971 enlisted in 1917 trained with the Machine Gun Company at Fort Logan CO and Fort Douglas UT and then transferred in 1918 to the 10th Division at Camp Funston Fort Riley KS. First edition of this very scarce and excellent United States Army manual on the updated M1917 Machine Gun developed by Carl Swebilius a longtime Swedish-American Marlin gunsmith and engineer which was sold originally to the Army as a machine gun for tanks. This improved version was designed for use in Army Air Corps airplanes with many aluminum parts to conserve weight using Constantinesco-Colley synchronizing gear firing through the plane’s spinning propellers and were well received as they did not have the problems of freezing experienced by the Lewis machine guns. Twenty-two squadrons of the US Army Air Corps in France weresupplied with Marlin Machine guns and more than 1500 were sent to the AEF who held them in front line service until 1925.

First edition of this exceedingly scarce World War II manual for the Thompson Submachine gun which clearly illustrates the disassembly and assembly of the gun; all the parts; blueprints of the gun features; and specific care and cleaning instructions. All of these steps are clearly delineated in large photos with step-by-step descriptions. First conceived and designed in 1918 by John T. Thompson for a high velocity and lightweight weapon for soldiers on the Western Front during World War I the submachine gun did not start rolling off the assembly lines until 1921 and subsequently became known as the ruthless weapon of the mob wars and later soldiers during World War II with monikers of “Chicago Organ Grinder†“Trench Broomâ€and “The Annihilator.†It was initially not issued to police departments around the country due to the fact that the rapid fire of the gun was uncontrollable and could potentially injure or kill an innocent bystander.
