New Manuals on AirCorps Library for April 22nd

This week, we have several new aircraft manuals hot off the AirCorps Library scanner.

We lead off this new batch of documents with an Operation and Maintenance manual for the A-25, the modified version of the Navy's SB2C Helldiver. This manual, along with the three electrical component manuals below, is courtesy the Tri-State Warbird Museum in Batavia, Ohio.

We also have two newly scanned pilot training manuals covering basic operations of the T-6 Texan. These manuals have been generously provided by the library of Jim Zazas.

The remainder of the 29 new manuals added to AirCorps Library this week are from the Aero Trader collection. They cover compasses and compass-related equipment.

If you missed any of the 130 manuals we added to AirCorps Library in April, make sure to check out our previous blog posts!
