Wow, I'm glad I checked this week. I recently talked with Thomson's Aviation Manuals, and discovered that they have very old DC-3 manuals I have not seen anywhere else. They had a DC-3 (commercial) operating manual for 1940. They also have a DC-2 manual for about 1935 or 36. Either of these would be very useful!
Here's what I would love. The 1940 manual, and any other commercial DC-3 operating manuals before 1960. I only have commercial manuals for these years:
1942 - from Douglas
1947 - from Douglas
1955 - says "CAA Approved April 29, 1955"
undated DC-3 277B for American Airlines. But it's a detailed description, with nothing on how to operate.
But they must have existed between 1935 and 1942, when the AC was in service, but I don't have any.
Military C-47s - the oldest I have is 1942, but older ones should exist.
Getting the really old ones, both military and civilian, would be very helpful to me. I'm happy to pay shipping costs etc. if you don't want to post big files.
Finally, anything that says "checklist" or similar. Any year, any airline.
thanks much!

Avialogs has a lot of DC-3\C-47 files that can be viewed or downloaded (subscription is about $15/6mos). It is definitely worth the subscription price. You can also upload your own there.
DC3 C-47
Note there are 3 pages of listings for this a/c.
Go to the homepage and look under Aircraft. You will see why it is worth the subscription. I have know affiliation with this site.

Indeed Avialogs is a great site.
BUT I have not found any flight or training manuals earlier than 1942, for either C-47 or DC-3. I know they exist, but there is seemingly nothing available for sale or download.
Any suggestions?
(Actually, Mach One sold me a 1939 manual from Australian National Airways. But nothing from the US.)

I just bid on a 1941 military DC-3 flight manual on eBay. Unfortunately, the software I was using messed up, and I was outbid. (I think it went for $120.) I have tried to relay an offer to the buyer to purchase a scan from him, but I don't know if my offer reached him.
The reason I was so interested is that it's a full year earlier than the earliest existing DC-3 or C-47 manual that I know of.
If I ever get it, I will be sure to let everyone know. Please LMK if you ever find anything pre 1942 on any version of this aircraft, military or civilian.

Hi all. I've just joined this forum.
Does anyone have any performance data on the difference between "paddle blades" and "toothpick" or "needle blades"?
Thanks.

Thanks so much for this 1939 manual! I've been looking for pre-WW2 manuals for this aircraft so this is quite helpful.
It appears, from the pictures, to be the "rigging and assembly" instructions. I have a 1939 Australian operating manual which looks quite amateur by comparison.

A friend is a DC-3/C-47 fan and found a gun turret manual for the L-2 (Russian DC-3) on line and bought it - a really poor quality greyscale mess.
He asked me to clean it up enough that he could OCR and translate it. I did that on the condition I got a copy of the OCR and translation so here are the cleaned up manual and translation. If anyone wants the full OCR just ask and I will post that as well conditional on you will post any corrections to the translation to this thread.
