Look to the Library - the Trojans are coming! T-28 Trojans that is
Even though we've added 26 new T-28 manuals this week, my pick of the day is much more specific. It came from Tod Dumas, one of my fellow EAA Chapter members. I recently presented about AirCorps Library at one of our meetings, and afterward Tod found Consolidated-Vultee Process Specification M-150-B on Sealing Integral Fuel Tanks, that he thought I would be interested in. As one of the instructors in our local A&P program Tod has access to lots of neat stuff, and if I ever have enough time to spare he said that I was welcome to scan it!
I'm always excited to find process specs because they cover topics that you don't see in regular manuals, and this one is no different - it has great photos, and is definitely worth a look!
T-28 Trojan Manuals:
Even though it's not the flashiest aircraft, I've always had a soft spot for the T-28. With over 150 airworthy T-28s, providing technical documents for this aircraft is crucial. A special thank you goes out to John Gogol for donating all 6 of these T-28 manuals and supplements, all of which were new to our collection!

Component Manuals:
Apart from the Sealing Integral Fuel Tanks Process Specification discussed above, the following 7 manuals came to me via Chris Bobka, and are really nice original versions of manuals that we only had copies of before. The "Aircraft Accessory Equipment Parts Catalog K" and "Redesignation of Part numbers on Eclipse Accessories" is just a taste of what's to come. T.O. 03-1-6 was a huge manual titled "Handbook of Service and Overhaul Instructions for Aircraft Accessory Equipment, manufactured by Eclipse". This manual was separated into chapters and parts, each one about a different Eclipse component. Over the next few weeks we'll be adding these chapters/parts as individual documents so they can be more easily searched for!
