Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 350 pages. War Baby! Comes Home continues the amazing saga of the U.S. .30 Caliber Carbine - the most popular military shoulder arm in American History. Accourding to the Director of Military Training eighty-five percent of the troops in the U.S. tactical…and operational units were armed with M1 carbines by early 1945. The U.S. Army jealously guarded its 'critical' supply of carbines during the war but with peace distributed this universally popular arm lavishly among allies and erstwhile enemies alike. With the termination of the carbine manufacturing program in 1945, the ongoing task of maintaining and refurbishing the nation's carbines and the manufacture of new spare parts and further experimental developments devolved upon Springfield Armory. The popularity of the carbine is further attested to by the large number of official military accessories and ancilliaries which were produced and fielded in its support, as well as the nmerous types of .30 caliber cartridges developed for the carbine. In the 1950s, International Aid distribution of U.S. military carbines abroad and the consequent availability of large stocks of .30 caliber carbine ammunition spawned the development of several interesting foreign weapons, some direct 'clones' of the U.S. carbine itself, but others of completely different designs which had in common only the .30 caliber carbine cartridge. An outstanding reference. Long out of print, and getting Scarce. Both the Book and the Dust Jacket are in Fine condition. The Dust Jacket has a "Broadart" style protective cover. An opportunity to purchase a nice copy of an important military reference at a reasonable price.
