Logarithmic, Trigonometric, and Short-Base Tables was issued by The Artillery School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma 1943

This 1943 edition of Logarithmic, Trigonometric, and Short-Base Tables was issued by The Artillery School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. With 82 pages, it served as a compact but essential mathematical reference for artillery officers in training during World War II. The crimson cardstock cover features the school’s crest and motto “Cedit Fortuna Peritis,” reflecting the high standards of precision required in artillery fire control. These tables provided quick access to key calculations needed for rangefinding, trajectory analysis, and angular measurement—especially before the widespread use of electronic calculators. A fine piece for collectors of WWII militaria, mathematical history, or field manuals, it’s a reminder of the mathematical rigor behind battlefield operations.
