This week there are a handful of manuals that cover a  wide array of topics!

  

Bendix Equipment Kits

Instructions for use of Bendix 11-8627 Spring Seating Kit - Form No. L-636

Application of the Bendix 11-8150-1 Timing Kit - Form No. L-631-2

  

Wright R-3350 Duplex Cyclone Engine

Because this manual is a bit later than our usual fodder, it's not listed by it's document number in the alphabetical or numerical list of technical publications that I have on file. From the table of contents I'm guessing that it's an Overhaul Manual, but I didn't want to give it an official title unless I was 100% sure.

Unidentified Manual for R-3350 - T.O. No. 2R-R3350-13

  

F6F Hellcat & Link Trainer

I recently scanned these two manuals that were found during the library organization at the Dakota Territory Air Museum (DTAM) in Minot, ND. If you've never heard of DTAM, you should check them out - they have an amazing warbird collection that includes several of our past restorations from our parent company, AirCorps Aviation - including the P-51C Lopes Hope 3rd, P-51D Miss Kitty III, and our soon to be finished P-47D Thunderbolt!

I was really excited to get the Hellcat manual, since it was an original, and since many people have an interest in Grumman aircraft. The Link Trainer manual was also a great addition to the site. Thanks DTAM for the donation!
