This book was released on 1996 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of an examination of historical records related to the construction and operations of the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant (KAAP), Parsons, Kansas. The historical context was developed through thorough research into the archives at KAAP, local libraries, museums, and a series of oral history interviews. This report demonstrates that KAAP was a unique facility in the Ordnance Department's GOCO industrial program designed to provide munitions and materiel for European and American forces during Word War II. The facility was the first in the program to be funded by Congress and was an important producer throughout the war. It was perhaps the only one of the 77 GOC facilities to have come in under budget on construction. Throughout the war, KAAP was an important producer of bombs, shells, and components. Engineers and other employees at the facility contributed to the technological advancement of munitions production by designing and developing the first core melt machine, which, in conjunction with the volumetric melt-pour equipment developed elsewhere, greatly aided the war industrial effort by reducing labor requirements and increasing production of shells and bombs. In addition to the history of the facility itself, this report discusses the direct and indirect effects construction and operations had on the town Parson, Kansas, in particular and Labette County in general, in which Parsons and the facility are located.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merriam Press World War 2 History Series Also includes details of the effect of climate and terrain upon development trends (jungle, cave, desert, and arctic warfare). Written utilizing numerous source documents, listed in the footnotes. The material published in this Monograph is a complete reprint of the text of Chapter 1 ("Review of Ordnance Research and Development in World War II") of a manuscript in the National Archives (Records Group Number 156, Box A746). The author was not identified on the copy we worked from, although it seems likely this manuscript was written by an officer (or historian) of the U.S. Army's Ordnance Department, since the author obviously had access to most, if not all, Ordnance Department records. While no date is given as to when the manuscript was originally prepared, it would seem likely that it was written not long after World War II. It was not declassified until 27 September 1958. Although much more could obviously be written about the Ordnance Department's research and development role in World War II, this work is certainly of immense value because of its almost exclusive use of original source documents, as well as having been written shortly after the events occurred.
