TM 9-1005-211-35 Pistol, Caliber .45, Automatic, M-1911A1


Recommended Posts

Does anybody have an early edition of this TM. It was first published in 1968. 

In my (old and often faulty) memory I remember seeing it with photographs, not line drawings, in the illustrations. 

I used to read this when in High school ROTC 50+ years ago and always wondered why the hands looked so familiar. 

When my father was in this 70's he finally got around to telling me that he had been tasked with writing this manual in 1967 while he was working for HUMRRO - a civilian branch of the DOD tasked with developing training materials. It was his hands which were photographed holding the pistol in the illustrations.
