    As I am into my second Hunnicutt book (Pershing) I have to think someone should write a book on the stateside works of the Ordinance Committee, the Armored Board, Aberdeen Proving Ground and throw in General Motors and a few other to boot. There was all sorts of experimentation going on at the various manufacturers and at Aberdeen, I would think that that and the decision making itself would make for a fascinating book. I have found one from the viewpoint of Chrysler, Tanks Are Mighty Fine Things by Wesley Stout, but I am hoping to find more.

    Has anyone heard of any? Recomendations?

    Try "The Business of Tanks, 1933 to 1945" by Ross for an interesting perspective of a Brit dealing with the US Army. Good stuff.

    That's one of the titles on my "Armor books too expensive to buy" list. I will probably acquire it by interlibrary loan.
