New features - ETO books and WWII Field Manuals
#4

My job seems safe, at least for the time being. We have a new anti-virus software that checks web content as it is being downloaded. Things that are large don't tend to make it because it takes too long to be "approved".

 

Incidentally, while we are on the subject of interesting reading on the internet, I got lost for a good while looking at this:

http://books.google.com/books?id=qCcDAAAAMBAJ&source=gbs_all_issues_r&cad=1

It is Popular Science magazine archives. I'm sure they are all interesting, but the one I first found was the Feb 1945 issue. It showed a diagram of the B-29 firing system for its defensive guns and I found it fascinating. I have actually always wondered how it worked and here it was! Little did I know I just had to find the Feb 1945 edition of PS to find the answer!
