Following up on my
list of the most anthologised sf short stories of 1940, here are links to those I found readliy available for free online after a cursory search (ie in the first page of Google results for title and author). I am happy to expand this list to include other short sf from 1940, as well as any I may have missed from my first list, and also to remove any links which violate copyright.
NB also that UNZ.org has the entire 1940 runs of
Unknown,
Thrilling Wonder Stories and
Argosy in PDF - possibly others as well, but I couldn't see how to find out.
