Short but Sweet!
Even though less than 30 manuals were added to AirCorps Library today, they are a really interesting selection. The Adel Precision hydraulic valve manuals below should not be missed, and the Consolidated/Lockheed-Vega training documents are also fascinating!
New F-86 Sabre Manuals:
In yesterday's blog post 4 other P-86 Sabre manuals were added to the site. This is our first jet aircraft on AirCorps Library, so it's a bit of a milestone!
T.O. No. 1F-86K-4, Illustrated Parts Breakdown for F-86K Aircraft, 7-June-1957
New Hydraulic System Manuals:
This collection of manuals is quite interesting because they were published by Adel Precision, not the military. Manufacturer published documents often contain additional information, and are usually better illustrated as well!

New Ice Eliminating Materials Manual:
We have a handful of manuals related to the ice eliminating systems in aircraft, but not enough! So I'm always excited when a new on turns up.

T.O. No. 03-15-10, Oil System - Cleaning of Oil System and Accessories, 30-July-1943
New Student / Training Manuals:
This selection of manuals is really interesting because it gives a peek into the practices of Lockheed-Vega, and Consolidated as they trained their aircraft service technicians. These documents are text only and are written like study guides for the various topics.
