Page (035) from "JAN #1 a joint Army and Navy publication UNIFORMS AND INSIGNIA prepared by the Military Intelligence Service and the Division of Naval Intelligence", a recognition manual released by the US War Departement during World War II for field use by the American fighting forces.

This cumulative military manual was a "Joint Army-Navy" ("JAN") publication illustrating uniforms and insignia of the navies, armies and air forces of Japan, Nazi Germany (Heer/German Army, Kriegsmarine/German Navy, Luftwaffe/German Air Force, Waffen-SS/German Armed Elite Guard), Facist Italy, occupied France and the Netherlands (parts of their navies were based in Western Allied countries), neutral Facist Spain and Portugal, and Allied Turkey. 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 additional pages and corrections. Today it is in the public domain without any known copyright restrictions.
