Title: Percival P40 Prentice

The Percival Prentice was a primary trainer for the RAF which first flew in 1946. Over 300 were built but they were only in service from 1947 to 1953. The aircraft was notorious for its poor performance with any load at high temperatures, and for its spin recovery difficulties.

This title contains the RAF flight manual (titled pilot’s notes) and a detailed manufacturer’s brochure for the Prentice, along with two contemporary magasine articles reprinted by Percival for publicity. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
