Well, i disagree. I think that: there are still more manuals
and documents that will appear; these will be shared more
than in the past, this being made possible by our new 
communications systems ( this one, versus old way enthusiasts
communicated years ago - magazine articles and paper mail );
and people will have more access to government archives.

I am certain our document collections will survive us. Our
collections won't: but the actual equipment will.

However, that brings up another issue: will anyone be interested
in this stuff? If not, why publish any such book?
Actually, i just thought of the answer to my own question: the 
re-enactor and mil-vehicles collections will ensure that the
equipment is appreciated. -Hue
