Title:  Lockheed C-141 Starlifter No’s 1 and 2

In 1961 President John F Kennedy announced that Lockheed Aircraft Corporation was the winner of a contest to design the first US all-jet production military transport. The aircraft was to become the C-141 and first flew in 1963. The aircraft entered service in 1964 and soon began regular trans-Pacific flights to South-East-Asia. The aircraft became the first US jet transport that paratroopers jumped from, and the first to land in Antarctica.

284 examples were built as C-141A models. In 1977 a program was started to stretch the aircraft and 270 examples were put through the Lockheed workshops and converted to the C-141B stretched configuration. The final variant was the C-141C, initiated in 1997, which introduced GPS and a glass digital cockpit. 63 examples were converted to C-141C configuration.

We offer two titles covering the C-141 series. The first title contains the flight manual and a nice manufacturer’s brochure for the initial C-141A model. The second title contains the flight manuals and associated documents for the later C-141C in USAF service. Each title has been scanned from the original flight manual and retains any colour pages. Each title is US$9.95.
