My first attempt to give a little back to the group.....
While working on the restoration of the P-51H-5-NA Mustang at the Chanute Air Museum, I converted the NAA Mustang engineering drawing index to Microsoft Excel format to make looking up drawings easier. I combined the Alphabetical Index and Numerical Index into a single file for fast searching and sorting. In Excel, one can resort the index and do a keyword search quickly and easily.
Now, I'm doing the same for the Texan. The DVD drawing set I have is for the SNJ -3, -4, -5 & -6, and I have completed keying in Section 1 of the index. Section 1 has
"Assembly and Installation Drawings, listed and indented in next assembly sequence". The zip file at the link below contains one file that is the complete index in the same format as the printed one, but has been set as "read only" to keep it from being changed. Along with that, each of the subsections are in separate Excel files that can be resorted as needed.
The zip file can be downloaded here>>>
http://p51h.home.comcast.net/~p51h/at6b/wix/snj1.zip I've already begun building Section 2, which is the
"Numerical List of Assembly, Installation, and Detail Part Drawings" that I think holds all of the Texan drawings, and will post it in the future when complete.
If anyone has a digital (scanned) copy of the AT-6 Index they would care to share, I'd like to do that one, too.
Same goes for the Harvard Index.
Suggestions and comments are welcomed.
