Technical Manuals People are looking for

[-=IDS=-]

Hej there,
I am looking for the following manual:

Авиационный мотор АШ-82
М. Воениздат НКО
1945

Aviation engine ASh-82
M. Voenizdat NKO
1945

does any one happen to have that or can show me where to find it?

many thanks

Here is the same manual but from 1947. Perhaps, it will be useful for you https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threa...ian-and-lend-lease-engines.53426/post-1969577

Great post but may I suggest you move the link, or add the link, to Manuals for various Russian and Lend-Lease engines as that keeps most, if not all, Russian engine manuals in one thread.

 

[Yew Staff]

Many Thanks I -=IDS=-
but the 1947 I do already had
I Am specifically looking for the above mentioned version, but again many thanks

I'm looking for a February 1943 manual showing the specialized parts and equipment used in maintaining a Bell P-39 Airacobra in the field

 

[MiTasol]

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.

I've been a member for many years. Unless there's one in the thousands of manuals Ester has, that need to be scanned then added, probably not. It took me 31 years to find the partial copy I have now.

 

[MiTasol]

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.

Has anyone any ideas on how to find a copy of this one - AP 2495. The photo comes from a web site that recently sold a copy.

 

[cvairwerks]

Maybe the RAF Museum?

Hi!

Has anyone got the overhaul manual for the Bendix Stromberg PD12H4 Injection carburettor for the R-1830 please? Could be for DC3 or similar.

Thanks

Has anyone found the llustrated parts breakdowns of an Grumman F-14? It's been retired for a long time, but I still can't find it. I've always wanted to find this beautiful fighter jet!

Exchange version of "Illustrated Handbook of Aircraft Parts"...

Does anyone have these?

If you have these illustrated parts catalogs, please message me.

You might need to define whether you mean Lockheed F-14 or the later Grumman F-14. Both were jets.

Okay, thanks for reminding me. It's a Grumman F-14.

 

[Engineman]

Yeah - too many box changers instead of people who apply critical thinking or do a proper risk analysis when the manual may assume that everyone knows you have to treat the whole system.

This is an old thread, but very important.
In my experience of big vintage engines, I have also seen cross-contamination from used coolers and other oil system components. One bad case was a ground test stand that had heavy internal contamination with construction swarf and dirt!
Any engine oil system needs to be spotless clean inside, and engine installation, component changes or new-builds should consider all oil systems to be contaminated until proven otherwise. That leaves some really difficult management problems on complex engine systems during build but, FOD is not just for jet-engines!
