Previous Editions to the 1952 Coast Guardsmen's Manual

   During the WWII war years, there were two publications produced based on the BJM.  They were chapters 1 to 17, and chapters 18 to 22 of the BJM.  This is the second, chapters 18 to 22.  I don't have the first, chapters 1 to 17.  Once I have it, or get the pictures and data, I will add it to the Coast Guardsman's list.
