Thanks very much Redshirt. I haven't been able to do more than just skim them but they look like great references. I really like seeing vintage training materials to have some idea how the people back then learned and thought.

Happy to oblige. I ran across them while looking for that sub chasers deck color. I could not help but grab the links after seeing all the PT’s around.
