![[HLMainPic]](booksThumbs/65257.jpg "Click on the left or right of the image for more images")
American official manual for M3 Light Tank. Later (c.1950s) blue cloth with orig. front wrap. of the manual laid down to the front, with armorial bookplate of Mark Dineley: Note: Dineley was an enigmatic character who was very interested in military technicalities. When I bought this item from his family they told me that he had been an SOE agent. This may or may not be true but what is known is that he was born in 1901 in London; he established Bapty & Co. in 1919, which has since become one of Europe's most prominent armorers for film & television. He also established an importing company, Dineley & Dowding Ltd., which supplied arms to the British Army. Around 1932, Dineley designed a submachine gun & submitted it for testing by the Small Arms committee; the weapon was ultimately rejected. In his spare time Dineley was an art connoisseur who amassed a collection of Chinese, Tibetan & Nepalese Buddhist art. He died in 1975 in Wiltshire. See illustrations on our website.
