THE THOMPSON SUBMACHINE GUN
Mechanism Made Easy
GALE & POLDEN, Aldershot, c.1940
An original WW2 Thompson Submachine Gun handbook, published c.1940. Although undated, it was published during WW2, before the revised edition of 1942 which had slightly different photographs. The book is a detailed guide to the handling and maintenance of the 'Tommy Gun' as used by the allied armies during WW2. Full of fascinating information and fully illustrated with photographs of the Thompson and its mechanism, this book is an excellent introduction to the workings and use of the Thompson Submachine gun.
