    Description

    Quite obscure series of manuals are fantastic reading for the enthusiast  the USAAF series of inspection / Maint. Manuals was a small softbound picker guide that was meant for the field and repair station mechanics working in this aircraft. Just the ‘nuts and bolts’ of the job, they do away with all the ‘welcome to the Army Air Force’ baloney, and just get right to ‘service the A-4 Bomb rack every 25 hours here’ lube the airframe with this oil here every 50 hours’  and ‘the tools needed are’ etc.
    This manual is issue no 1  dated 15 June 1944.
    No censorship here as it was critical mechanics had the most up to date manual for the plane they were working on.
    Part of the extensive ‘Ol Jon Aldrich collection, you may not see many of these manual for sale in this condition. Please no returns and ask questions prior to bidding. Thanks.
