Pilot Weapons Training - Gunnery: US Navy NATC No. 2667, Gunnery Manual, 1944: Table of Contents

NATC No. 2667, Gunnery Manual, Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, 10 July 1944.

Annotation by the web-master: This manual/pamphlet is a quite rare find indeed. It is not a printed official manual by the Navy, but a locally compiled pamphlet from Pensacola Air Station, reproduced by mimeograph. It is not known to me, whether it was issued to the instructors only or as a course book to the students as well.  At any gate, it gives the essentials of naval gunnery in one "shot".

Due to the method of initial production -  which was not of a very high standard to start with, given the method - and the time elapsed, some errors are likely. The illustrations are in some cases barely discernible. Most needed redrawing. To reduce errors - and to cling to authenticity - the originals are presented as well.
