Books/Manuals/Military History PDFs. Post em if you got em!
« on: January 27, 2024, 07:52:33 PM »
Hey guys,
Figured I'd get this started to see if it was of interest to anyone, and try and consolidate resources for
Folks with similar interests.
The link below has a bunch of PDF'S I collected over tje years- manuals, a unit history or two, a bunch of the Osprey Duel series, Aircraft of the Aces, and assorted bits I found interesting, such as the report in the Czar 52 crash and the Japanese balloon bomb campaign.
I'm a little on the fence about the series ones-most of them came from the now-defunct Virtpilot.org and campaign packs from Mission4today.com. Let me know of that's pushing the copyright envelope and I'll take em off. Posting on a phone for the moment, will clean up and list everything I have, and add whatever else I can dig up from my hard drive.
Here ya go
