Hi Guys,

Found something of interest for you folks involved with P-51's on EBay. This might be something you are looking for with regard to restoring, maintaining, or just for the enthusiast who really loves the P-51. Check out this link....it appears to be an entire Blue-Print manual for the Mustang series as a whole.

Take a peek....it may be a touch pricey, but for the Mustang owner, it may be worth a look.

Paul

Might want to check with someone who has purchased and viewed up close and personal first. I've not had much luck with the online manual creators.

Who compiled all the "original and complete" drawings, from where, spent how many million hours converting in hopes that they could be sold for $300?

Sounds unique to me, but I am a suspicious old fart. :wink:

The (14,000+) production drawings presumably derive from the set produced in Canada after WWII and which are held by the Smithsonian on a series of microfilms. Copies of the films (25 reels) have been avaiable to purchase for many years (around $700 in 2002) but have more recently become available on CD/DVD through a number of sellers.
