Comparison of flash and smoke.
No full textTests were conducted recently by the Ordnance Department at Aberdeen Proving Ground to compare the flash and smoke characteristics of standard American and German ammunition- small arms and artillery of approximately the same summarized in this booklet.

Inland transportation of individuals for the Army during World War II.
No full textThis is a study of the administration of the transportation of Army personnel and civilian personnel of the War Department by commercial means of transportation in the Zone of the Interior from the establishment of the Transportation Service, 9 March 1942, to 1 May 1945, inclusive. The monograph will outline important current procedures and trace the historical development of major changes effected therein to cope with the vast traffic created by the War, in the face of a static or diminishing supply of transportation facilities. Although administration of individual transportation is divided among a number of organizations, this study will deal principally with the activities of the Traffic Control Division, Office of Chief of Transportation, Army Service Forces. The subject of rates and services and the Joint Military Passenger Agreement will be covered in a subsequent monograph
