Rare WW2 US Army manual from 1943 related to SPECIFICALLY the infamous .50 cal browning machine gun as specifically used by infantry, airborne and rangers, as well as in vehicles and tanks, This edition is from 1943, a nice early editiom with beautiful plates, drawings, and extensive information on maintenance and use. Almost 150 pages!The spine is a bit weak and has some small repairs, but the contents itself are in very good condition, It is complete with another 1943 supplement document.
Great manual and highly illustrative for your usa collection, especially if you own a demilitarized .50, you dont find this manual easily! A real bible for the US WW2 collector!
