FM 17-20 Recon Platoon and Company (May 1942), is a well illustrated manual
which clearly explains the battle tactics of U.S.Army World War Two armored
reconnaissance units in a series of detailed do’s and don’t examples.
A very basic common sense book. Designed to explain the basics for armored
reconnaissance operations to newly inducted soldiers who were completely
ignorant of battlefield conditions. Many of the lessons of this book are even
still good today.
