The place to go for WWII drawings & manuals
AirCorps Library or “Library” for short, is a repository of technical information for the aircraft of World War II. The site has over 499,000 engineering drawings and warbird manuals for the most iconic fighter and bomber aircraft of WWII such as the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, F4U Corsair, B-17 Flying Fortress, B-25 Mitchell, and many more, along with cargo/transport and trainer aircraft like the T-28 Trojan and C-47 Skytrain. AirCorps Library was designed and built by AirCorps Aviation, a world renowned warbird restoration shop that understands the importance of getting the historically accurate warbird information quickly and easily.
How is AirCorps Library different?
Every engineering drawing on the AirCorps Library site is searchable by its part number. This was done so that restoration shops and researchers can find the information they are looking for in seconds rather than minutes or hours. Every manual on the site is also searchable using OCR (optical character recognition) technology. The goal of AirCorps Library is to help you find what you need, whether you are building a P-51, or just looking for something cool to hang on your wall!
Aircraft drawings and manuals with you wherever you are
As a subscriber to the AirCorps Library website, members can view our hundreds of thousands of drawings and read every manual cover to cover - all for just $9 per month or $75 per year. Members can also purchase digital downloads of warbird drawings and manuals and print them for their personal use, or simply take our mobile library with them on any device with internet access.
In early 2021, AirCorps Library added a public storefront that allows non-members to browse their collection of warbird manuals, view previews of each manual, and purchase a digital download for themselves. Although this option does not include access to the engineering drawings library, it is a great way to quickly get a single aircraft manual on a specific topic.
An ever growing collection
At AirCorps Library, our goal is to collect technical information for every warbird, bomber, trainer, and cargo aircraft of World War II. New manuals are added to the site each week, and users from around the world are constantly contributing to make the site a better resource for everyone!
