Hi Verlaine,

The pdf's come from a variety of locations. Which one are you have problems with. Also try downloading the newest pdf reader as some people have had that problem as well.

All the best
Paul

Still no one around with a spare parts manual on hand?

Smithsonian Air Space Museum has various editions of parts manuals in its archives. They are huge (thousands of pages), and I did not have time to copy them. The archive is moving from MD to Va. so it won't be accessible over the next few months.

I copied a portion of the early B-17 manual,
HANDBOOK of OPERATION AND FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MODEL B-17 BOMBARDMENT AIRPLANE July 5, 1937. This model was probably never flown in combat, but it shows that the early manuals were relatively simple compared with the illustrated and easy to read versions done later.
Sorry about the crude photographing job - I did not have proper equipment.

Thank you all guys

Does anyone know if there is a B17 C \ D maintenance manual or parts catalog in existence?
Cheers,
Trys

I have a couple of B-17 parts that cannot be found in the maintenance and errection manual. They all have numbers stamped in. Neither the number nor the part is shown in any of those manuals. So did the mechanics had a different manual that covered ALL parts used in the B-17? Thank you. Cheers, Kurtl

Pics?

If the part was made by a subcontractor it may carry a different part number. If its a casting or forging, there may be a "raw casting or forging" part number that will not be found in the normal parts manual.

Let's begin with this part:

What was it? The B-17 was a G-model so far.

Have looked at this site? B-17 Flying Fortress - Blueprints, Drawings & Documents | AirCorps Library It is a pay site though

 

[FLYBOYJ]

I'm assuming the shorter part protruding from the top as some kind of as hook. To me this looks like some type of door assembly
