Downloading those manuals is going to install some pretty nasty stuff on your system, according to ESET and Hitman.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

I checked these files with ESET and nothing was found.  I would suggest updating your AV programs.

Akak I use Flash nearly every day in the school I am in, and so it is up to date. Clicking on those links I get a message that I need to update my Flash installation, and at that same moment ESET warns me that there is possible unwanted content embedded in the link. I keep my system clean and up to date, so I trust the information I am getting. I know it's nothing you did. It's just unscrupulous webmasters at the site where those files are (Mediafire).

No thanks.

I had the same error with ESET and my version was updated when I turned on this machine a few hours ago.

Strange.  I'm not getting the error at all with ESET (using Smart Security 7) or with Malwarebytes when downloading.  However, prior to uploading the files to mediafire, I did scan each file (as I do with all downloads) to make sure the files were clean and when Chalenge reported the problem, downloaded the files (no alerts) and scanned them to make sure once more and the files were clean.

AKAK...  :salute

Thanks for the manuals, awesome to read, I appreciate you sharing these with us all. Page three or four on the P38 shows "armor" protection on a the P38. I seem to recall every time I broke wind in the cockpit of a 38 ... wounded. Maybe Dale could use these....  :devil

Thanks Ack-Ack.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
