Here is a *COLOR* version of the F-51D Flight Handbook (T.O. No. 1F-51D-1), dated 20 January 1954. The illustrations are much clearer than the black-and-white version(s) previously linked and that alone makes it worth downloading.

I know this is an old thread but I found something interesting today while researching the Alaska-Siberia Lend-Lease route. As you may or may not know, this was the only air route for Lend-Lease aircraft to Russia during the war. Almost 8,000 total planes (mostly P-39s, P-63s, A-20s and B-25s)...

I didn't mean anything personal by adding the link. I genuinely had no idea what the manual was for so I downloaded it to see. I thought the letters stood for "For Official Use...G something, A something." Don't mind me though. I was slow to recognize TO was shorthand for Technical Orders. :)

In case I'm not the only person who incorrectly guessed that FOUGA was an anacronym instead of an aircraft, here's the Wikipedia page for the Fouga Magister: Fouga Magister - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Instead of double clicking, try right clicking on the link once with your mouse and then choosing "Save Target As..." from the menu.

Hooray, smeagol_to_other's version of the training manual is in color!

Don't forget the "P-40 Pilot's Manual" thread: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/other-mechanical-systems-tech/p-40-flight-manual-4877.html :)

Very nice. I like the style of this manual.

Okay, I finally got the P-47D-25 through -35 Pilot's Flight Operating Manual pages uploaded to the Photobucket account tonight: Boomerang_013/Bubbletop P-47D PFOI - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I'm surprised by how legible those PDFs are, considering the images came from the MySpace page. Sorry for the confusion. I edited too much out of my last couple of posts as I updated the links. Originally I said that I was going to re-upload to Photobucket to maintain a higher resolution...

Another complete manual: Boomerang_013/Razorback PFOI - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting This is the November, 1943 revision to the "P-47B, C, D and G Pilot's Flight Operating Notes" already hosted at this forum.

Boomerang_013/AAF 50-5 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting The entire first manual is uploaded now. Click on Full View for each for largest size. If this works out better I'll upload more albums. Link to image of manual's cover (to test the size that displays) ...

That looks surprisingly good!

Well here's the conundrum...The training manual, Razorback and D-25 through -35 operating notes already are PDFs. However, the files are locked and the first page is the commercial vendor's contact information including a warning that the page is copyrighted. I don't think I can redistribute...

I've uploaded two complete P-47 manuals that aren't currently available here to this MySpace account: MySpace.com - Johnny Thunderbolt! - 39 - Male - GREAT FALLS, Montana - www.myspace.com/simboltpilot Look in the Pics area. Sorry that the manuals aren't fully downloadable or printable...
