These are not your grandmother's scans. Every page has been hand-corrected to remove as many blemishes as possible. Color correction with a known color standard sheet was used to get the colors as close to the original as possible. Special care was taken with the half-tone images to make sure all the depth and range of the originals is preserved. Manuals are printed on 24 lb paper and comb-bound with clear plastic front cover and black plastic back sheet. NO ATTEMPT IS MADE TO MAKE IT LOOK JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL. For instance, the cover is just a scan of the original cover, printed on card stock. The original manual was 3-hole punched and bound in a black military binder. This printing is comb-bound so the pages lie flat when opened.
Sections include Dimensions, Major Component Parts: Wing, Empennage, Engine, Fuel System, Oil System, Instruments, Radio Equipment, Gunnery Equipment, Bombing Equipment, Oxygen Equipment, tubing charts, service inspection, and much more.
