338thRCT Posted May 17, 2012 #1 Posted May 17, 2012 Found this B17F manual at an antique store. Dated July 1944. A quick reference for pilots and/or crew members. Came with a Center of Gravity computer.
KEF Posted May 19, 2012 #6 Posted May 19, 2012 GREAT FIND! This manual went in the glove box of the B-17...no not really it did hang on a lanyard attached directly to the back, top left of the pilots seat. (See part B ) That's why there is a hole punched in the manual. I have had two sets of these manuals one I still have which is part of a three piece set. The other two manual "Familiarization Manual Maintenance Model B-17F Bombardment Airplane" and the "Field Service Manual Boeing Model B-17F" which I provided a photo of here is from my Field Service Manual. thanks again I like the B-17F always to be promoted anywhere especially on this forum...
