Hi Mike...

I'm really glad you like it. You're really going to like the new
Extended NSN Search. It is even better than the method you used.
Shoot me the NSN you searched for and I'll show you the amazing output
from the Extended NSN Search.

You should be able to just enter the TM title such as:
TM 5-3431-227-24P
We will be adding a title search that is a little more easy and
thorough.

Yes! We have been converting some older paper ETMs, but they take a
lot of time since they have to be processed with optical character
recognition in such a way that the images and layout are correct, and
the text is "live" to facilitate the full keyword search of
MILDOCS.COM. The military has not converted many of the older manuals
yet, and probably never will. We'll do what we can on getting more
older stuff into the collection.
Thank you!
