Just got these great additions to my reference library via Amazon. "The U.S. Army 1941-45" was printed in 1984, the other two were printed in 1982. The U.S. Army 1941-45 will come in handy right now as I am working on a Dec-Feb. 1941-42 Pacific American/Philippine Bolt Action force to face off against my IJN/IJA/SNLF troops.
