Even though half of these have already been mentioned above, I figured it would still be useful to reproduce this list because it groups them under a single publisher:

Charles Griffin and Company Books (1916)

• Burls, G. A. Aero Engines: With a General Introductory Account of the Theory of the Internal-Combustion Engine. Eighth. London: Charles Griffin and Company, 1917.
• Butler, Edward. Carburettors, Vaporisers, and Distributing Valves. London: Charles Griffin and Company, 1909.
• Chatley, Herbert. The Force of the Wind. London: Charles Griffin & Company, 1909.
• ———. The Problem of Flight: A Text-Book of Aerial Engineering. Second. London: Charles Griffin & Company, 1910.
• Donkin, Bryan. A Text-Book on Gas, Oil, and Air Engines. Fifth. London: Charles Griffin and Company, 1911.
• Hoernes, H. A Compendium of Aviation and Aerostation: Balloons, Dirigibles and Flying-Machines. London: Charles Griffin & Company, 1911.

I also came across a listing of all of the Government Publications on Aeronautics. I'm not going to transcribe the list here because there's at least 700 of them, but, should you wish to read through them yourself, you can find a complete run from 1920 to 1935 on HathiTrust in the Air Service Information Circular and Air Corps Information Circular catalog records.

While reading through more old aviation magazines, I found a 1924 advertisement for a book titled A History of Aeronautics. It is quite large, with a total of 521 pages! With that level of detail - and such a relatively early publication date - I imagine it would be quite the useful reference on the early history of aviation from a time when it was literally still being written.

While looking for more entries for the post above, I came across an article about a young man that reminded me much of myself. Ernest Robischon built up a collection of 1,000+ aviation books and 4,000 to 5,000 magazines - apparently including many historically significant and rare items - by 1940. I wonder what happened to his collection and if it survives today? (A similar effort called the Institute of Aeronautical History that began around 1927 ended up at the Honnold/Mudd Library Special Collection and Archives.) Another article I ran into details the collection of the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences (today the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics), which, in 1941, was made up of 10,000 "aeronautical books, magazines, reports, pamphlets, photographs and clippings". Finally, very similar to the Aeronautical and Space Serial Publications: A World List published in 1962 by the Library of Congress that was used to help create a previous post, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics published a Bibliography of Aeronautics until at least 1936. This is not to be confused with an similar document published by the IAeS, in cooperation with the Works Progress Administration, also titled the Bibliography of Aeronautics, that was completed in 1941. It is likely this is the direct result of the Aeronautical Index mentioned in the magazine article above.

Going back to the subject of manuals and technical publications covered in the first page of this thread, I recently learned of the "Air Forces Manual" series (note the "s" on "Forces"):

Air Forces Manuals

• No. 1 - Shoot the Bull![1]
• No. 2 - Instructor's Guide for Recognition Training in Army Air Forces[1]
• No. 3 - Glider Tactics and Technique[2]
• No. 4 - Operation of Photographic Laboratory[1]
• No. 5 - Ditching Dope
• No. 6 - Weather for Aircrew Trainees[3]
• No. 7 - High Level Precision Bombing[4]
• No. 8 - Field Weight and Balance Control for Aircraft
• No. 10 - Arctic and Tropic Maintenance of Aircraft
• No. 11 - Manual on AACS Procedures[6]
• No. 12 - Glider Flying Training[1]
• No. 13 - How to Use Training Films
• No. 15 - Bombardment Formations[1]
• No. 16 - Teaching Methods Manual for Flexible Gunnery Instructors[7]
• No. 20 - Gunner's Information File
• No. 21 - Survival
• No. 22 - Guide for Training Aids Officers[8]
• No. 23 - Handbook of Recovery[1]
• No. 24 - Instructors Manual for Physical Retraining[8]
• No. 26 - Introducing Joe "Flight" Gremlin
• No. 27 - Gunnery in the B-29[9]
• No. 28 - Radar Performance Testing Manual[10]
• No. 29 - Sit Down and Play[11]
• No. 30 - Ground Safety Rules
• No. 31 - Tactical Employment of H2X Radar Equipment[12]
• No. 32 - Air Attacks on Bridges[13]
• No. 34 - Notes on Use of Oxygen Equipment for Fighter Pilots and P. R. U.[1]
• No. 35 - Notes on Use of Oxygen Equipment for Air Crews[1]
• No. 37 - Loran Handbook for Aircraft[14]
• No. 38 - Weather Briefing Manual[5]
• No. 40 - Precipitation Static[15]
• No. 41 - Aids for Navigators and Bombardiers
• No. 42 - How to Jam Jerry's Radar, Window or Chaff[1]
• No. 43 - Centralized Meat-Cutting Plants
• No. 45 - First Aid in Flight
• No. 48 - Prevent Burns
• No. 49 - Let's Walk
• No. 53 - World-wide Recognition Systems[8]
• No. 55 - Use of Flexible Gunnery, Phase Checks, Giving, Scoring, Using[8]
• No. 58 - Mr. Pilot, Don't Be a Bogey Man, Turn on Your IFF[8]
• No. 59 - Coming Home
• No. 62 - Precision Bombing Practice[8]
• No. 64 - Fighter Gunnery, Rocket Firing, Dive Bombing[16]
• No. 65 - The Airplane Commander
• No. 66 - Manual for Instruction on Poorman Flexible Gunnery Trainer[8]
• No. 67 - How to Improve Formation Bombing[17]
• No. 70 - Going Down

Note that No. 6 has a similar title to TM 1-232. Also contrasting copies of Survival available from Google Books and HathiTrust show how the designation sequence changed for the manuals. Though otherwise identical, the former is identified as "Air Forces Manual No. 21", while the latter is "AAF Manual 64-0-1". It is important to point out that: 1) this does not appear to be related to the transition from USAAF to USAF, as both are identified as being an "Army Air Forces" manual, and 2) there is no correlation between the old and new numbers, as "21" has become "64-0-1". Instead, based on the title page of a copy of Aircraft Accident Investigator's Handbook, it appears the newer designations come from the regulation that authorized them. (In this case, "AAF Manual No. 62-1" and "AAF Reg. 62-14", respectively.) This is similar to the relationship between AAF circulars/regulations and forms. Interestingly, one of these redesignations, in this case "No. 26" to "AAF Manual 25-0-2" appears in the same 1941-1942 Supplement to the United States Government Publications Monthly Catalog as a bunch of the other publications listed under the old sequence - suggesting the change over started around this time.

EDIT (22-12-06): Add entry and link for No. 41.
EDIT (23-05-11): Add link and remove reference for No. 45.
EDIT (24-04-05): Add link and remove reference for No. 20.
EDIT (24-10-23): Add link and remove reference for No. 8.

The Civil Aeronautics Board published a series of "Safety Bulletins" in the late 1940s that resemble the "Sense" pamphlets produced during and after the war. Also, much like the Civil Aeronautics Bulletins mentioned in a previous post, there is a good chance they were used by military as well as civilian pilots. Therefore, while they are not military manuals, their close stylistic and chronological association makes them worthy of inclusion here:

Safety Bulletins

• No. 169-46 - Service Pilots Versus Light Planes
• No. 170-46 - Air Recklessness
• No. 171-46 - That 500-Foot Regulation
• No. 172-46 - Seaplane Safety
• No. 173-46 - Low-Slow Flying: The Fatal Mistake
• No. 174-46 - Small-Field Traffic
• No. 175-47 - Don't Drink and Fly
• No. 176-47 - Strange Field Landings
• No. 177-47 - Students Don't Fly Passengers
• No. 178-47 - Why Have Prop Accidents?
• No. 179-47 - Buzzing...Jail Bait
• No. 180-48 - Runways Shrink!
• No. 181-48 - Cold Weather Safety
• No. 183-49 - Buzzing...is Deadly
• No. 184-49 - Don't Ask for Trouble: File a Flight Plan
• No. 186-51 - Mountain Winds and Their Effects on Flight
• No. 187-53 - Keep Your Distance

As an aside, between the above, the Flat-Hatting Sense, and the related training film, it's interesting how many times the topic of buzzing, flat hatting, or whatever you may call it, comes up. I know that showing off through low level flight is something that existed for a long time before World War II and will continue to for as long a pilots take to the air, but the regularity with which it was addressed makes it seem like it had become a serious problem. However, I guess that's the reason that buzz codes were implemented. (Also, on a somewhat related note, a shameless plug for the excellent website "USAAF Training Aircraft Fuselage Codes of World War II" by WIX's very own jdvoss.[1])

I also came across two very similar pamphlet by the same author as the above. However, they're technically part of a different series, so I have listed them separately:

Safety Studies

• No. 101-48 - Let's Look at Spin Crashes
• No. 102-49 - What Causes Collisions?

EDIT (25-01-08): I found two additional pamphlets that appear similar to the Safety Bulletin series, but lack numbers:

Unknown Pamphlets

• Facts of Flight
• Realm of Flight

While searching for entries for the above sections, I came across three sets of 50-issue aviation readers published around 1930 by an organization called the "Junior Air Service of America":

• An Introduction to the Study of Commercial Aeronautics: A Modern Business Taught in a Modern Way
• The Controlled Review
• The Outline Questionnaire

The organization was founded by a man named Rex Martin. It seems to be connected to a later organization called the "American Technical Society" as the latter features books authored by Mr. Martin that are noted as being "formerly published by the Junior Air Service of America". There are four of the aforementioned books, and their titles all begin with "Flight":

• Kuns, Ray F. Flight: Aircraft Engines. Chicago: American Technical Society, 1944.
• Wright, Bailey, W. E. Dyer, and Rex Martin. Flight: Meteorology, Aircraft Instruments, and Navigation. Chicago: American Technical Society, 1943.
• Wright, Bailey, and Rex Martin. Flight: Construction and Maintenance. Chicago: American Technical Society, 1943.
• Flight: First Principles[3]

EDIT (22-04-07): Added 2 additional entries to the monographs section.
