DonateI have uploaded all the WW2 aircraft manuals I have collected over the years, (over 150), and they are listed below grouped as US, UK and German, (plus one Russian…..love the IL2!).
When I first start digging WW2 relics it was from old RAF and USAAF bases in the UK. My first love was always the aircraft of WW2, with my childhood bedroom ceiling filled with Airfix models, hanging from cotton threads in mock dogfights. Finding even the smallest piece of an aircraft always brings a shiver to my spine, thinking of the pilots, one minute sat in the canteen with a mug of tea or coffee, the next fighting for their lives above the skies of Europe. On one occasion I recovered 12 Merlin engine exhaust stubs from behind an aircraft revetment, and it still gives me chills to this day!
Filming for WW2 Treasure Hunters gave me the opportunity to dig on three separate crash sites, and I helped in the recovery of a Ju88, Boulton-Paul Defiant and a Fairy Battle. Manuals of the kind I’ve uploaded below can help with the identification of parts recovered from both crash sites, and old RAF/USAAF bases.
Not an awful lot more to say really other than I hope you find them useful.
