Hello, this is a new comer that is interested in aircraft manuals of the Japanese empire.
My favorite plane is Aichi S1A Denko and I have translated the entire S1A "Denko"'s plan instruction manual (試製電光計画説明書) into mandarin and would planned for an English version in the future.
I would post some of the manuals that I have here and please take them as much as you want.
Notice that the S1A Denko's manual has copyright that belongs to Mr. Watanabe Tetsukuni (渡辺哲国) who fixed the last M6A1 Seiran so please just read but not use it for publishments.
Most of the manuals are from the "Captured German and Japanese Air Technical Documents" series. They are captured by T2 Wrightfield after the war. The documents are stored as microfilms.
The Plan Instruction for S1A Denko is also one of them .
By the mean time, the orginal paper of notebook for S1A Denko from Dr. Ozaki Norio (designer of S1A Denko, M6A Seiran, and B7A1 Ryusei) is also in my hands.
The Plan Instruction for S1A Denko comes first

J8M1 Shusui's original drawing
Unlike most other planes that has only manuals, the S1A Denko and J8M1 Shusui has their original drawings for the construction of their prototypes
Shusui has about 400 pages max, I selected 70 of so for the major components.
Denko's original tracings are within the Plan Instruction Book I have uploaded at the beginning. Basically all the drawings related to fuselage are original tracings for the prototype.
