This is a quality reprint of US Army Regulations, AR 850-5. Originally published in August of 1942, it provides information on the location, size, and type of personal, unit, and national marking of clothing, equipment, and most importantly for some of us, vehicles. I includes changes 1 through 10. If you are rebuilding a WWII truck, you need this manual.
The pictures are very usable and not washed out or too dark like many of the manuals I have seen that from copy machines. This is printed on 28 pound paper. Copy paper is generally 20 pound and you can feel the difference. It is bound with GBC plastic combs so that it will lay flat. If you would like I can, rather than bind with the plastic comb, three hole punch it for your binder.
If you are collecting military manuals or looking for a prop to display at your next show, this is not the manual you want. If you want some usable information on the Mule that will lay flat on your bench when you are working on your pride and joy or some period information on how it was done back forty years ago while you curl up in front of the fire this winter, this is the one you need.
