Vehicle Data Book: pre-March 1944 edition??

[Alex van de Wetering]

It might just be an initial print date in loose leaf format and any new information pages added, came with their own date. Sometimes the word “Revision” was only added to a new page if the new page was actually replacing a preexisting older one.

Hi David,

Yes, it sounds like it was more of an "active" data book as Hanno also described regarding the "Tank data book", but that means the "Manual series Data book" and the "Vehicle Data book" were used (and updated?) simultaneously.
Bill Gregg writes that "the original handbook was piblished to list vehicles chosen to serve in the imminent European invasion" (As Hanno also mentioned above), so was the Manual series data book the complete catalogue of all Canadian vehicles.....also including stuff like the many F60H special bodied vehicles as seen in Clive's Vehicles of Victory, for instance?
