Synopsis
During WWII, the U.S. Army's ranks of men and its arsenal of equipment grew mightily. From a mere 190,000 soldiers in 1939, the Army would reach 8.4 million in 1945. That was a staggering achievement, and what is even more impressive is to consider how few guns, tanks, artillery and other essentials the military possessed prior to Pearl Harbor. Outfitting America's war machine, and assessing its needs and delivering the goods, was one of the War Department's most challenging tasks. To make it work, some weapons would be pressed into production even though they were obsolete, while others would be adopted as expedients in hopes that better replacements would soon be delivered. The full scope of what was produced in the handful of years between the military build-up that preceded December 7th and V-J Day is hard to comprehend. Fortunately, the War Department left behind this four volume "Catalogue of Standard Ordnance Items". A master catalogue that was once classified "Confidential", it neatly lists most if not all of the vehicles, weapons, ammunition, and combat equipment that fought history's greatest war, it's an astonishing compendium. This book contains both Volume 3 and Volume 4 of the Catalogue. Volume 3 details small arms including machine guns, submachine guns, rifles, shotguns, grenade and rocket launchers, helmets, body armor, bayonets and knives, and other equipment. Volume 4 details all types of ammunition from 20mm to 16 inch, hand and rifle grenades, mines, subcaliber and practice ammunition, artillery and bomb fuzes, rockets and rocket launches. Companion books include Volume 1 which focuses on tanks, armored cars and vehicles, and Volume 2 which focuses on artillery.This publication represents the first time in seventy years that Volume 3&4 have been presented in their entirety. Please note however, portions of this text were created from original versions that were sub-standard in quality. As a result, some areas of the text, photographs and diagrams may have quality or legibility issues.

    This book was purchased on 9/22/25. At first, tracking information was unavailable and it seemed that nothing was happening. Messaged the seller who was VERY quick with an apology, explanation, and tracking information - Excellent communication! The item arrived soon after and was better than described/shown; the quality is excellent, and the book was very well packaged. This seller proved to be very efficient, professional, courteous, and honest - would happily buy from again! Six stars!!!
