Found an interesting book "Pearl Harbor & The War In The Pacific"

If there is any interest I will post more photos.

Please do post more pics, but also, I highly regard your historical insights along with your vast knowledge. There's more to collecting weapons than the mechanics -- the history, the challenges of war, and the evolution is just as much a part of collecting. Often we get one-tracked on things like the supplier's stamps, method of metal finishing, or proofing marks, but neglect the strategy of war, the linkages of supply chains, the secrecy of innovation, the alliances between competitors, the adaptation of manufacturing plants, and, most importantly, the courage of the souls that withstood fear, anguish, loneliness, stress, and desolation to fight for a larger cause.

buy on average 10 books a week. Most wide up on the shelf without really being looked at. I get them for reference more than anything and have the luck of being surrounded by used book stores.

How about taking a peek at one of those per week and sharing your insights, enthusiasm, and revelations. We would all benefit from your vast library.

Here's one of my contributions -- a case study of the most unheralded weapon's technology that shortened the war by about a year, but has gone largely unnoticed, and may disappear from history's lessons: http://trusting1.com/Proximity_Fuse_Case_Study_v1.5.pdf
