Navy Technical Orders and Specification AL-7 and AL-8

Does anybody have an idea where I may find copies of the above documents for a TBM Avenger?

If you're looking for the Type Certificate Data Sheet for the TBM, try http://www.faa.gov but look for LTC-8. Some of the old "LIMITED" aircraft are listed as "AL" and some are "LTC"

This is a GREAT find. I found LTC-8 just fine, but LTC-7 applied to the orginal R-4B helicopter (wonder if anybody is actually flying one of those today?)

Here is the context:

This airplane must be operated within the limitations set forth in Navy Technical Order No 49-45 (5/23/45) [we have this] except for limitations called out in aircraft specifications AL-8 [have this now, titled Spec. L-8-2] in which the values given in the specification must be observed. A copy of pertinent Navy Technical Orders and Aircraft Specification AL-7 must be carried during the flight.
