This week we've added almost 100 new manuals to the AirCorps Library website!
Each new manual that was added this week is linked below. Many of these WWII era manuals are crew training documents used to educate pilots on any aspect of combat flying. These manuals cover everything from the operation of a single instrument, to one of my personal favorites "How to Develop an Intelligence Room". It's fascinating to think that this long list of documents was just a fraction of what warbird pilot's were required to know!
Remember - if you don't want to purchase a download of these manuals to read through them, then consider becoming a member of the AirCorps Library site! As a member you can read each one of these manuals cover to cover, at no additional cost. Plus, if you DO want to purchase a download of any of these documents, members always get a 20% discount off the download price of each manual.
