Note: In the Future we don’t plan to start listing manuals on individual armored vehicles. While Military/Info has an especially large amount of information on World War Two armored vehicles, there are a number of publishers who do a fine job reprinting vehicle manuals. But if you are looking for anything in particular we can do some looking for you, just write. We may be able to redirect you to someone who has it available.

Note: This website has over 500 webpages, with over 11,000 military titles available, organized into over 200 subject headings, covering a period of over 200 years, collected over 50 years. This website is designed to be browsed so you can discover interesting documents which don't know even existed.

Note: We have a built in discount. If you order 1 item or 100 items in an order, the total cost of shipping is the same.That can save a lot of money, in shipping, when ordering a large number of items, like our low cost articles.
