FAIRCHILD C-82 PACKET

$9.95

Title: Fairchild C-82 Packet

Designed to a 1941 US Army requirement for a specialised military freighter the C-82 first flew in 1944. However it was quickly found that the aircraft was underpowered and the airframe inadequate for its planned heavy lifting role. A revised version was developed which overcame these problems and became the C-119. 220 of the original C-82s had been produced when production ended in 1948 and they were retired in 1954.

This title contains two flight manuals for the C-82 along with a manufacturer’s brochure. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
