For those interested in small arms, as well as a few titles on larger ordnance, I'd like to recommend the Project Supporting Papers generated by the U.S. Army Ordnance Dept. after World War II. Unfortunately, these are hard to find outside the National Archives (the U.S. on -- I'm an old fellow and still refer to the British archives as the Public Records Office!). The U.S. Army"green book" series (History of the U.S. Army in World War II) is excellent, as is the British "History of the Second World War" series, particularly Hall's "North American Supply". A great internet source -- again mostly for U.S. material, but having some British material from WW I, is Hathitrust.com (might be .org!). Nice collection of manuals, manuscripts, other material in the public domain. I am going to try to "publish" some of the PSPs complete with annotations -- so that even more info is available.
