Fantastic images! I love that the fonts and type styles of the early flight manuals are nearly identical today. Tradition!

Sheesh, that's expensive!!! I truly have no idea, but is that the going rate? Amazing pictures in this thread. That is one big bird! Is The B-52 as roomy inside?

lestweforget, the B-52 isn't so roomy. I can post a nice general arrangement diagram of the inside of the B-52 when I get my computer back from repair, but I have to scan some slides for our friend BUFFCC here on the board as well, then I'll get the answer to your question up here for all to see.

I didn't think so. If you could take the trouble to do that , I would appreciate it. Mind you, I would have loved to hear the sound of a B-36 flying overhead. Must have been really something!

There's an excellent new book out about the B-36.I pre-ordered a copy from Amazon ages ago and it arrived yesterday.I have about every book that's been printed on the B-36 and this has hundreds of pictures that I haven't seen before including a number of shots of the interior.There's a chapter on the YB-60 jet version as well as one covering tracked landing gear experiments and another on parasite fighter operations.The book lists for $32.95,which is a good price and is available at Amazon for $21.75.I highly recommend this book.

Thanks for the info. on this book Larry. I too think I have every major book written on the B-36 so I was wondering if there was anything new is this one and if it was worth getting.

I just placed my order on Amazon for it.
