One good thing about the delay is I've upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 4.05  for building the volumes and the printing and viewing are much nicer. All manuals with tables of contents now have clickable tables of contents. There are also bookmarks incorporated which make navigating the documents much easier. Acrobat Reader 4.05 versions are supplied for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux platforms. See the Adobe Acrobat Reader download page for all other and/or more recent versions.

Aerial Gunnery is a very interesting volume. There are multiple titles to this one and they cover the gamut from fixed (fighters), flexible (bomber gunners), how to pick your targets, deploying a squadron, escorting bombers, anti-aircraft gunnery, tactics, use of the reflecting gun sight, recognition tables, etc.

If you are a combat flight simulation pilot,
or interested in tactics as they were flown in WWII, you need this volume!

~ NOTES ~
This is a CD-R - not a commercially-pressed silver CD.
I am considering getting it commercially replicated, but it took three pressings to get good B-17F CDs (unbelievable but absolutely true) and two to get good B-17G CDs. It is very hard to get a replication house to pay the proper attention to detail and quality on small runs. CD-R is available now and is of very high quality.

How The Gun Works - Caliber .50, M2 (GM Training Service, 1943) 36 pages, Has Been Deleted From This Volume. My apologies to anyone who wanted this manual, but in light of recent events I've decided that it is better to leave that kind of information out.
