    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Admiral Harry Donald Felt (June 21, 1902 – February 25, 1992) was an aviator in the United Statesicon Navy who led U.S. carrier strikes during World War II and later served as commander in chief of Pacific Command (CINCPAC) from 1958 to 1964.


    After the war, Felt was assigned to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations before attending the National War College from 1947 to 1948. He commanded the carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt in the Atlantic and Mediterranean from August 3, 1948 to July 11, 1949.[6] He was on staff at the Naval War College from 1949 to 1951, becoming chief of staff in the spring of 1950 and acting as president from October 17, 1950 to December 1, 1950.[7] He was promoted to rear admiral in January 1951.

    In March 1951, Felt was sent to command the Middle East Force in the Persian Gulf, the first flag officer to serve in that billet. He later described his principal adversaries during that tour to have been the Britishicon, who greatly resented American intrusion into what they considered to be their exclusive sphere of influence.[8] Returning to the Navy Department in October, Felt worked for Rear Admiral Arleigh Burke as assistant director of the Strategic Plans Division.

    He was Commander Carrier Division 15 in 1953–54, practicing anti-submarine warfare from the escort carrier Rendova; Commander Carrier Division Three in the spring of 1954, operating attack carriers Essex and Philippine Sea in the South China Sea; and assistant chief of naval operations (fleet readiness) from 1954 to 1956.[3]
