Robert,
Here's a pic of the 8 inch--200mm--Amer.
howitzer.
Generally had a 7 man crew but often 9 men were
required.

I need accurate descriptions of the U.S. and NK/Chinese ordinance used in the non-tank areas such as hills and mountains. Everything from U.S. BAR's, light and heavy mortars, 105mm cannon, and including our 200mm howitzers. Details are for book I'm writing on Chinese methods and equipment employed in attacking hills and mountains that Americans and UN forces held. For some reason, I haven't found the offices of the Pentagon very helpful and forthcoming. It isn't trivial to me and I sure hope it isn't to them. Any help would be greatly appreciated--even one good URL will help! Please leave your name and email. Thanks very much, Blake Mooney RB Mooney
