Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

With full color images this is a carefully restored reproduction of
a then highly classified 1943 US Army War Department manual.
Report of explorations for a route for the Pacific Railroad, near
the forty-seventh and forty-ninth parallels of north latitude, from
St. Paul to Puget Sound.Vol.1, Part 2
Based on the civilian WL model, Harley-Davidson's WLA ("A" for
"Army") motorcycle was first produced in 1940. It would remain in
production through 1945, and eventually over 90,000 were delivered
for use in all theaters of WWII. Like the WL, the WLA was equipped
with a 45 cubic inch (740 cc) flathead high compression engine and
a rugged frame. Military modifications included blackout lights,
fenders without traditional sides (to reduce mud clogging), an air
cleaner to facilitate off-road use and easy maintenance, and a
crankcase breather that enabled the fording of water obstacles. The
motorcycle typically was also equipped with leg protectors, a skid
plate, leather rifle or machine gun scabbard, an ammunition box,
radio or luggage rack, and a windscreen. This U.S. Army technical
manual TM 9-879 was created in 1943 for the men who operated and
serviced the WLA in the field. In its pages you will find a
description of the motorcycle, and information regarding its use
and care.Originally classified "restricted," this manual was
declassified long ago and is reprinted here in its entirety. Legal
disclaimer: The name "Harley-Davidson" is a trademark of H-D
Michigan, LLC and the Harley Davidson Motor Co., which reserves all

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
been taken to preserve the integrity of the text.
