If you ever wanted very detailed information on weapons such as the 12” mortars on Corregidor, here is a link to the actual Technical Manuals from WWII. ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/ref/TM/PDFs/TM_9_456.PDFThe manual for this mortar itself is a 7.3 meg file. It contains specs, photos, operation, repair and types of ammunition etc. There is even a section on painting and care of the mortar. Perhaps some of that information would be useful today in helping to preserve them. The main index page lists many WWII technical manuals. ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/ref/TM/index.htmlSmall caliber weapons, cannons, tanks, howitzers, armored vehicles, fire control instruments, field music, military justice and many more. Happy reading. John
