Bibliography
A rather haphazard list of the works consulted for this effort, along with sources cited in those works. In large part, it serves as a reminder to me of source material to track down and include on these pages...
Note: the alphabetical-by-author organization of this list is rather crude
(I let the computer do the sorting). In particular, the author(s) name(s) on some
items may be preceded by service and/or rank designations which cause them not
to be listed where you would expect. I strongly recommend using your browser's
"Find" function if you are looking for a particular author or title.
