I wanted to use a style sheet to make the bibliography more readable and aesthetically pleasing. I had many minor corrections to make. Comments, suggestion, and corrections would be welcome. More than 2,000 U.S. Army manuals were listed in BSIR from 1946 into 1949. This index lists those manuals by manual number and gives references to the citations in BSIR .
Appendices also list the manuals by title and by PB-number .
There are many libraries with excellent collections of Army Manuals. So this index should be a last resort for persons who cannot locate printed copies of manuals they are seeking. In particular, I hope this index is helpful to the librarians and historians at the Pentagon Library and the Military History Institute who have helped me track down many obscure manuals over the years. BSIR was published initially by the Office of the Publication Board in the Commerce Department. It was continued after the organization was renamed Office of Technical Services.
