Gentlepeople:
Can't we revive this thread and bicker?

Yes, please. Useful for us, ignorant non-English speakers, to learn more cool words. I like this "bicker". Bickerrr.

There are multiple sites that have those drawings where you are not dependant on the mail system - eg WWII Era Military Blueprints & Manuals | AirCorps Library

My set I bought in the 70s on 35mm microfilm and all the electronic copies are derived from microfilm so some pages are not worth wasting time on.

Unfortunately one of the moderators' tasks is to keep some of the very best unknown to the community at large. But then again, we have to abandon some coolness to keep a civil tone during our frank exchanges of views.

Now, this is not free of errors, and especially the prologue could raise some suspicion as to whether our expert has become a youtuber, but there is some really nice footage. I'm also quite certain that it is in the spirit of this thread.

If it looks like a groundhog, flies like a groundhog and smells like a groundhog, it is always welcome here

I think the Russians who flew the P-39 in combat would disagree with you.
