Good stuff Greg. Thanks for posting. Here's a 1943 technical article on Mosquito production methods:

And your sheet metal repair file reminded me of this one, written in 1942.

View attachment DB601_Ver 1.pdf
Greg, Attached is the document on the DB601 I have been working on.
It is a re-write of an article in FLIGHT magazine (April 16th 1942). It is not original.
The original article is scanned and not very clear.
I have used this and some other FLIGHT Aviation articles as a learning exercise with MS Word 2010.
This is a work in progress (i.e. it is not finished) but any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks Charlie,
I have been hoping someone would come forward and contribute more than the already nice contributions. Looks pretty good so far. I have the german DB601 manuals, but nobody to translate them. If you want a crack at it, I'll post 'em.

Here's a comparison with F4U Corsairs. Wish it were a bit more clear, but I'll take what I can get.
Greg,
When was this comparison done? The PDF has a Jan 43 date, but neither the F8F or the F7F had flown then?
Cheers,
Biff

Wish I knew. I found that pdf on a website some 10 years ago, and can't remember where I found it.
That's one of the big problems with the internet ... no guarantee it is what if says it is.
It is also possible the data for the early F4Us is correct and it was updated a couple of years later, but I can't really say. It's just a pdf I had and threw in here. There are more somehwat like that one, but relatively few with such glaring "out of time" characteristics.

If you have the DB601 pdfs to share, I'd like to take a look.

I understand. It is 31.17 Mb and our limit here is 20 MB. Won't load. My email linit is also 20 Mb, so we're looking atr another way.
Maybe PM me your email address and we can find a way to exchange files.

First to GregP for starting the thread and your uploads - fan-bloody-tastic - I will give you more than bacon - the whole hog.
May I suggest you try tucows.com or a similar site for
a PDF splitting program or
a free PDF file printer and then printing say pages 1-100, 101-200 or whatever works to keep file size down, or
converting the larger files to ZIP and then splitting the ZIP file.
CrimeaRiver - top stuff also
All the others, keep up the great material. It makes me feel my uploads are insignificant which is just fine by me.
A lot of the stuff is not what I would have willingly gone looking for but browsing it has been informative at the very least and more than one item that I nearly did not look at is now safetly stored on my hard drive for future reference.
Regards
Mi Tasol

You are welcome. I am trying very hard here to start a thread for sharing aircraft / aviation information freely. Do you have any to share? If not, please enjoy the previous posts. My posting is likely to slow down some unless I get some more participation. One guy (or gal) doesn't have it all ... and I have already shared some with little return.
It's like always buying lunch for others.
It doesn't have to be Earthshaking, just share some of what you have.
This IS a WWII forum, so that would be nice ....
Here's a P-40 3-View I just completed for another purpose ...
Forgot about the one on the right ... I was trying to maintain one at a right angle for later use so I don't have to calibrate it when I rotate it. I suppose I should add a prop to the front view ...
