Title: Learstar

The Learstar was one of the first ventures by the famous Bill Lear (of later Learjet fame) into aircraft manufacturing and was a conversion of the Lockheed 18 Lodestar (C-60). He recognised the sound engineering of the original Lockheed design but realised with advances in aerodynamics and engineering a much more efficient executive transport could be produced. The aircraft was completely re-manufactured and incorporated numerous modifications to increase speed and efficiency and improve the interior accommodation. Production was later taken over by PacAero.

This title includes digital files of scans of the pilot’s flight manual for the Learstar and a nice manufacturer’s publicity brochure, which details the complete re-manufacturing process and the modifications made, along with another nice brochure on the company and its capabilities with much information covering the Learstar including photos of the assembly line etc. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
