The Bofors 40-mm gun is an anti-aircraft, multi-purpose autocannon
designed in the 1930s by the Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors.
It was one of the most popular anti-aircraft systems during World
War II, used by most of the western Allies as well as the Axis
powers. The cannon remains in service as of 2013, making it one of
the longest serving artillery pieces of all time as well as the
most wide spread. During World War II, In order to supply both the
United States Army and Navy with a much greater number of guns,
Chrysler began mass production. Over the lifetime of the
production, their engineers introduced numerous additional changes
to make the manufacturing process more efficient, eventually
reducing the overall time needed to build a gun by half. In U.S.
Army service, the single mount Bofors was known as the 40-mm
Automatic Gun M1. The U.S. version of the gun fired three variants
of the British Mark II high explosive shell as well as the M81A1
armor-piercing round, which was capable of penetrating some fifty
millimeters of homogeneous armor plate at a range of 500 yards.
Created in 1944, this technical manual reveals a great deal about
the 40-mm Automatic Gun M1's design and capabilities. Intended as a
manual for those charged with operation and maintenance, it details
many aspects of its sighting equipment, ammunition, accessories
much more. Originally labeled restricted, this manual was

The M4 Sherman medium tank was the first American tank to carry a
75mm main gun mounted on a fully traversing turret. Powered by a
500 horsepower, liquid-cooled, "V"-type Ford engine, the tank could
achieve 26 miles per hour on a paved road, and had a highway range
of over 150 miles on a single, 174-gallon tank of fuel. Over 50,000
Shermans of various types were built during WWII. Intended as a
manual for those charged with operation and maintenance of the M4A3
Sherman, this manual shows the basics of how to drive the tank and
take care of its 8-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. The book also
contains chapters on lubrication and inspections. Originally
printed in 1942 and labeled restricted, this manual was
declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form. Care has
