Full flap takeoffs are tough with split flaps the size of barn doors.
The second 12A accident was a yootoober trying to prove that.

My dad was a partner in one a very long time ago (VH-ABH), I'll see if he had a manual.

Is there any reason for that particular edition or will these Dec 43 pages work for you. My apologies for the crap quality - that is the way I got them.

I also have a November 5, 1941 photocopy but will need to scan that.

EDIT. Scanned. Will process asap.

The tools diagram appears to be the same in both editions but I have not done a detail comparison. The text that goes with the diagram is somewhat different though.

I'd like to ask all to keep a lookout for a Fairchild AT-21 Parts catalog, AN 01-115KA-4.... I finally found a copy last year, but it's missing from page 372 on. It's probably only about 12-14 pages, but those pages have the rest of the standard parts listing and the special tools. I've exhausted all my normal sources, NMUSAF at Dayton doesn't have a copy, same with all the known manual dealers. NASM might have a copy, but there is something like 1200 boxes of Fairchild stuff that they hold and only cursory inventories are available online for about 850 of those boxes.
 
Bugga. Like you long time member but it is surprising how many people do not know of them.

Best of luck for finding those pages - I have several manuals like that so know the frustration. Fortunately with the Lancaster vol I members here were able to supply most of the missing pages so you may well be equally lucky.
 
Did you get the 'Ellington' file I sent? WIX isn't working well/at all for me so I'm not sure if my mail got through.
 
You're fortunate in that the Lanc has a much bigger presence in the world and following. The AT was built in small numbers, had a pretty lackluster and short career with the AAF. When I went to the USAF archives at the museum, years ago, their AT file was only a few pages thick. At the time, the file I had at home was probably 40 times as thick, and I hadn't really started to gather data yet. In all the years I've owned this project, I have seen exactly one original AT manual, of the 4, come up for sale, and it was from an individual's collection that was being dispersed.

The hunt continues!

Got it and have been perusing it a bit. I'm surprised that there were so many there. The published info on Ellington is pretty thin. I've been able to get in contact with Aileen Henderson's daughter and she is going to search her mom's papers and photos for anything AT. Her mom spent a couple of years during the war, working at Ellington as a aircraft mechanic and mentions working on AT's a couple of times in her book. Aileen's book is "Stateside Soldier, Life in the Women's Army Air Corps 1944-1945". Aileen was in her 70's when she wrote it, and published a number of other books before she passed in 2023.
