2012-03-08 Helmets and Weapons

I’ve been wasting time on Wikipedia, reading up on the development of various helmets. Now I want to download an old book in the public domain on the development of arms and armour from the Gutenberg project. Any suggestions?

I also got two books by Charles John Ffoulkes:
