The Aircraft Yearbook for 1941

[Shortround6]

Stumbled on this yesterday and have been reading it.
http://www.aia-aerospace.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/THE-1941-AIRCRAFT-YEAR-BOOK.pdf

A great resource on the state of the US aircraft industry in 1939-40 and 41
It went to Press in May of 1941. Hundreds of pages on US companies and their products.
It is a bit propagandist in spots (to be expected in 1941) and anything referring to performance is either restricted or perhaps exaggerated but it is the best account of the expansion of the US aircraft industry that I have seen.

This site does not seem to have it?

actually the whole series appears to be here;
