Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This manual would be especially attractive to a pilot, retired or active. As a retired pilot I expected to find just what the name of the manual inferred, Pilot's Flight Operating Instructions.
Although I found the manual to be interesting, it sorely lacked information originally contained in these manuals, such a airplane flight characteristics, take off and landing procedures,and performance information, i.e., airplane and engine limitations, take off and landing distances, including climb, cruise and range data.
Had I have known of these deficient areas of information prior to ordering the manual, I would have by-passed the opportunity to purchase it.

The Boeing B-29 was one of the most sophisticated aircraft of WWII. It featured many innovations including guns that could be fired by remote control and pressurized crew compartments. It was also the heaviest production plane of the war with terrific range and bomb carrying capabilities. Carrying a crew of ten, the Superfortress devastated Japan in a series of gigantic raids in 1944-45. In the end it would be the B-29s "Enola Gay" and "Bock's Car" that dropped the atomic bombs and effectively ended the conflict. Originally printed by the United States Army Air Force in January of 1944, the B-29 Bomber Pilot's Flight Operating Manual taught pilots everything they needed to know about the "Superfort" Originally classified "Restricted", the manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form. This affordable facsimile has been reformatted, and color images appear as black and white. Care has been taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.
