    Hi Ron,

    >Flying Training Manual

    That's fantastic!

    I had known the the RAF had published some kind of general material on flying as it's mentioned in most (all?) Pilot's Notes*, but that they had such comprehensive material starting with the very basics was new to me!

    Outstanding, thanks a lot!

    Regards,

    * You might have seen this: "These notes are complementary to A.P.2095 Pilot's Notes General and assume a thorough knowledge of its contents. All Pilots should be in possession of a copy of A.P. 2095 (see A.M.O. A718/4"

    Ive heard of these manuals and seen a couple of pictures of the manual cover but never read one.

    Many thanks Ron

    This is great. The year 1937 the manual published coincided with RAF's huge expansion program caught up.

    It is quite usable even in today's pilot training, but a little too complicated.
