Excellent high-resolution archived copy. Great illustrations and a great reference manual. Many detailed and comprehensive drawings and photos. This manual starts out a bit rough in the first couple of pages. But the vast majority of pages are in excellent shape. This is a great manual that shows how a familiar civilian plane that many of us have flown, was transported into military applications. Interesting how the spotter rode backwards. Not sure I'd want to do that.
