Manual of the Automatic Pistol Caliber .45 Model of 1911 (War Plans Division, May 1918, Document No. 801) - This stapled 36 page manual appears to be a hybrid crossover between a field manual and technical manual.

Finally, Part III teaches one the rules of safety, shooting positions, accuracy, how to aim, etc. Of interest, I recently saw an original book of this manual for sale on the Internet for well over $100.00.

Pistol, Automatic, Caliber .45, M1911A1, 1917 through August 1945 - This 40 page narrative describes the history of the 1911 series pistol from World War I through the end of World War II. Topics discussed include development of the pistol, standardization (an important and tough issue for this pistol initially), and production requirements vice those actual achieved. At the beginning of World War II many within the Ordnance Corps and US Army believed the "pistol" was obsolete. Rather amazingly, nearly 2 million M1911A1 pistols were manufactured during World War II - the roll that this pistol played is absolutely astounding! The book itself is a great read. Topics discussed cover even how the production materials, tools, fixtures, testing, and finish changed and were improved upon at Springfield Armory during peacetime in preparation for war. Problems in integrating interchangeable parts manufactured at different production facilities are discussed. The book itself can be placed on the shelf in your workshop for easy reference.
