Pratt & Whitney Engine Specifications & T-6 Texan Manuals Added This Week!
Another week goes on and the specs just keep coming. In the collection of materials donated by Frederick Kohler there were hundreds of these aircraft and engine specifications. While these documents are short, when you need the information they contain, there is no substitute!
T-6 Texan Manuals:
I'd specifically like to highlight three of the AT-6 manuals below. Inspection Requirement documents were not published as a separate manual for all WWII aircraft, a practice which became more popular after the war. However, that does not make these documents any less important - on the contrary in fact! When performing maintenance these inspection requirement documents can by incredibly helpful, and give the peace of mind that you're doing exactly what you should be doing!
