‎Pilot Training Manual for Flying Fortress F-17; RESTRICTED‎

‎This appears to be reproduction due to the white borders on the pages. Comb binding. Good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. 100 pages. Illustration on front cover. Illustrations. Tabular Data. Cover has some wear and soiling. The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engined heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps USAAC. Relatively fast and high-flying for a bomber of its era the B-17 was used primarily in the European Theater of Operations and dropped more bombs than any other aircraft during World War II. It is the third-most produced bomber of all time behind the four-engined Consolidated B-24 Liberator and the multirole twin-engined Junkers Ju 88. It was also employed as a transport antisubmarine aircraft drone controller and search-and-rescue aircraft. In a USAAC competition Boeing's prototype Model 299/XB-17 outperformed two other entries but crashed losing the initial 200-bomber contract to the Douglas B-18 Bolo. Still the Air Corps ordered 13 more B-17s for further evaluation then introduced it into service in 1938. The B-17 evolved through numerous design advances but from its inception the USAAC later the USAAF promoted the aircraft as a strategic weapon. It was a fast high-flying long-range bomber with heavy defensive armament at the expense of bombload. It developed a reputation for toughness based upon stories and photos of badly damaged B-17s safely returning to base. The B-17 saw early action in the Pacific War where it conducted raids against Japanese shipping and airfields. But it was primarily employed by the USAAF in the daylight strategic bombing campaign over Europe. "Pilot Training Manual for the B-17 Flying Fortress" which was issued to B-17 pilots during World War II and was considered to be the "textbook of the B-17". The manual begins with a brief history of the B-17 and then goes on to explain to the pilot the duties and responsibilities of each of his crew members. Following this is a series of topics dealing with the characteristics and operation of the B-17 itself and how the crew should handle various emergency situations. From the Foreword: This manual is the text for your training as a B-17 pilot and airplane commander. The Air Forces' most experienced training and supervisory personnel have collaborated to make it a complete exposition of what your pilot duties are how each duty will be performed and why it must be performed in the manner prescribed. The techniques and procedures described in this book are standard and mandatory. In this respect the manual serves the dual purpose of a training checklist and a working handbook. Use it to make sure that you learn everything described herein. Use it to study and review the essential facts concerning everything taught. Such additional self-study and review will not only advance your training but will alleviate the burden of your already overburdened instructors. This training manual does not replace the Technical Orders for the airplane which will always be your primary source of information concerning the B-17 so long as you fly it. This is essentially the textbook of the B-17. Used properly it will enable you to utilize the pertinent Technical Orders to even greater advantage. unknown‎

‎WORLD WAR II AVIATION PHOTOGRAPHY Aircraft Performance: Performance Data of Current Operational Aircraft‎

‎Harrisburg PA: Army Air Forces Intelligence School 1943. Very good. Quarto unpaginated about 100pp. illustrated with 83 original tipped-in photographs and an envelope containing 13 more loose and unidentified images laid-in. Housed in the original cardstock clasped folder. Many of the pages have a bottom fold which does not fully open without the potential to tear though all of the contents can be read with some effort. Some pages a touch foxed and a few prints are loosened from their pages and laid-in in the right place. Overall in very good condition. A well-organized and illustrated military textbook for a wartime class on aircraft identification which was probably taught in many places but organized at the US Army Air Force base in Harrisburg. An introductory sheet in perfect bureaucratic fashion placed near the end of this textbook states: "The course in Aircraft Identification consists of ten hours spaced over a period of six weeks." It goes on to list a series of 42 aircraft--American German Italian French and Japanese--which will be easily identified by all successful students by the end of the course. <br /> <br /> The first few dozen pages consist of detailed folding charts with data on dimensions payloads etc. Another section of about 12pp. gives a background on various best practices when trying to identify aircraft as well as some of the principles behind the course. <br /> <br /> The course utilized the "WEFT" system wings engine fuselage tail to help individuals soldiers intelligence agents etc. identify planes in the field from various angles at different heights and in certain contexts. Most of the pages dedicated to individual planes contain two photographs from different angles and with different shading trying to mimic real battlefield conditions under which someone might try to identify an aircraft.<br /> <br /> An unusually engaging wartime military textbook appealing to photography aviation and military collectors alike. Not located in OCLC thus notably absent in the holdings of the Army War College Library which retains most technical manuals and course books. Army Air Forces Intelligence School unknown‎
