New Aircraft Manuals!

This week, we've added a handful of new manuals at the request of several AirCorps Library members: the Cessna O-1 Bird Dog, Vultee A-35 Vengeance, and Stinson AT-19 Reliant (V-77). It's always great to get member requests because it means that the info that we're adding from week to week will be immediately usable!

  

Cessna O-1 Bird Dog Manuals:

Over the past few years I've had several requests for Bird Dog manuals, but it wasn't until recently that I got a small donation and was able to get a decent size collection on the website! I'm definitely hoping to grow this collection going forward, but for now I hope you enjoy these 8 new documents:

Vultee A-35 Vengeance Manuals:

The A-35 was an improved version of the A-31, which were both nicknamed the Vengeance. While there are only 5manuals in this unit currently, I was excited to add them, and hope that they are useful to someone!

Stinson AT-19 (V-77) Reliant Manuals:

Here at AirCorps we get the chance to see a V-77 any time we go out to our hangar! Our general manager recently finished restoring his V-77, and it looks great. The "manuals" below are actually documents that were mixed in with the AT-9 drawings that came off of a donated set of microfilm. For AirCorps Library members, we also added the full set of engineering drawings to the site for full access. Not a member? Get started today - Click here to read about what you're missing!
