The cumulative military manual was a Joint Army and Navy ("JAN") publication illustrating uniforms and insignia of the navies, armies and air forces of several countries. The collection of plates was published as a US Government unclassified public document 1943-44 in the format of a pocket-sized loose-leaf string-tied binder allowing for later additional pages and corrections. Today the manual is in the public domain without any known copyright restrictions.
