Authentic Flight Manuals.

[Orion2012]

Don't normally post down here but I thought I might today, the reason being is while going through loads of files on an external HDD, and what I found were several PDF's I have collected of authentic pilots manuals from WW2. P-38 P-51 P-40(Maintanence guide as well), F4U just to name a small portion. Most are american aircraft, but there are a few german and british manuals as well. If anyone wants these or is intrested, tell me what your looking for and if I have it, I'll upload it.

[Schroeder]

What are you waiting for? Upload everything you have:D :up:

[Dowly]

Of course we want them! :rock:

[XabbaRus]

What about Russian flight manuals. I'm sure there was also a link for those somewhere.

There ya go!

Some are duplicates because while one part may be damaged in copy A its fine in copy B.

[Schroeder]

[Orion2012]

Thanks alot.:up:

No Problem. I have a LOT more, just have to pull them off the HDD.

[Raptor1]

Got a P-39?

[Orion2012]

Got a P-39?
I think so. More then likely for US variants.


Sorry, I don't on this harddrive. I haven't pulled the other 2 yet, so it could be there. I'll check them ASAP.

[Schroeder]

I've just found a manual for the Messerschmitt 109K on my hard disk (forgot it was there:oops:).
If anyone is interested let me know and I'll upload it.:D
(It is in German...)

[Silverleaf]

The P-38 manuals were greatly appreciated 8)

I'd love to see some details on the Macchi 202/205, so if anyone finds one, please let me know.

If you do find, it'll probably be in Italian

[Hitman]

I'd very much like to have the 109, although my favourites are the FW190 and the Stuka :up:

Here it is::D

I have some kind of Ju/FW manuals here somewhere. I'll try and pull them ASAP, busy with work, and keep getting distracted by Sh4.

My absolute favorite WW2 Aircraft is the P-38.

[Silverleaf]

I had the distinct pleasure of seeing two p-38's fly in my lifetime. Glacier Girl in 2002 and an older model in 1978 or so. The P-38 remains the perfect plane for me, as everything else pales in comparison.

Really, what more could you want out of an aircraft. Plenty of power, good armament and will take a beating a keep on ticking. The only problem I have with it is the low max dive speed and weak elevators in a dive.

One of the manuals I uploaded covers the aerial reconnaissance models, Very interesting reading.

Going to upload the Ju-88, FW-190, and IL2 later tonight or tommorow. These are UNTRANSLATED, well a couple JU-88's are, the Fulke and IL2 are not.

Probably a dumb question, but you guys want the Spit's as well?

[Hitman]

Many thanks :up: :up:

I have owned only two WW2 airplane simulators so far, EAW and IL2, and have learned that to be minimally proficient with aircraft -unlike with submarines- you must concentrate in a selected few if possible. Thus I only fly the FW190 and Stuka in the german side, and the IL2 and the LA-5 or LA-7 in the soviet one. I have never liked the british fighters because they are mainly angles fighters, and I prefer the energy fight. (That's of course a personal choice, as I seem to be unable to learn different style of fighting:damn: )

Hence, if you also have the LA-5 and LA-7 manuals, I'd wellcome them also :yep:

[Orion2012]

Hitman, I know I have an La-5 and a La-7. Only issue is, the only english anything I have is from a post war testing of an La-5. It covers the basics and engine performance but thats about it. The La-7 manual is the one issued to pilots, but all in Russian, and the same goes for the La-5 Maintence manual.

I have Fw-190 manual as well, again in german, as well as several for a Ju-88.

I said Authentic didn't I.

[Schroeder]

I would be interested in the 190 manuals.:D

[Kratos]

I'll have the Spits if you dont mind ;) ..had a look at the p40's seems its only for the 'N' ..owt for the good old Warhawk? 'E' ;)

[Morts]

any manual for any german plane, translated or not :D

[Oberon]

I'd deffo be interested in the Spit, Hurricane too if you have it :rock:


Thanks mate :up:

I have one that covers both the P-40 D and E variants. I didn't realise I missed it, sorry!

I'm gonna upload these as soon as possible, wife has a "Honey do" list that stretches from here to the moon and back a few times. Hopefully, I can pack up the Ju-88's and Spit's tonight and upload the german FW-190 and IL-2's later. I also stumbled across an "Air Recon Manual" from the early 50's (F-47 Thunderbolt) It's still a very interesting read and I would highly recommend grabbing it.

edit: I'm gonna compress the Seafire manuals with the Spit's and I'm gonna compress the Fw-190's, Bf-109's and Ju-88's together,

[XabbaRus]

Any Russian manuals would be good as I read Russian.

[Orion2012]

I'm uploading a new batch now. I .rar all the files by country. I also am uploading the P-40 D-E variant I missed last time. There is an article about spit's from Luftwissen in the german files if anyone want it without the german manuals let me know.

Good day.

Give it a half hour from this post for all uploads to complete.

Thx for a P-38 Manual. :up:

[Orion2012]

Oberon, still looking for the hurricane's , I think I have one for a pre-war Hurricane.

Hurricane's and Tempest manuals are very hard to find. The only Tempest Manual I ever saw wasn't for sale.

[Schroeder]

Thanks.:up:

[XabbaRus]

Cheers, I like the construction manual for the La-5

[Hitman]

No problem, I'm learning russian since last year :D, german I already learned at school and I understand it perfectly and speak it fluently.

Thanks :up:

Inside the Spit/Sea archive I have a Luftwissen report on the Spitifire. If you, or anyone else could read it, I've always wondered what the Luft thought of the spits.

Edit: Uploaded P-39
