Created during WWII as an official training manual for the Fleet
Torpedo School, this whopping 575+ page "pamphlet" contains
everything you ever wanted to know about aircraft-launched
torpedoes. Within its pages you'll find rare photographs and
diagrams as well as informative text. This includes a brief history
of the torpedo and a full rundown of the Mark 13, the first
American torpedo to be designed solely for aircraft launch
(although, they were also used aboard P.T. Boats). Chapters
include: exercise heads and attachments, war head and attachments,
air flask and midship section, reducing, superheating system and
starting gear, propulsion mechanism, depth control mechanism, gyro
mechanism including a description of Gyro Mark 12-1, adjustment and
tests, and a discussion of loading, air trajectory and stabilizers.
Originally restricted, this manual was declassified long ago. This
high quality facsimile was created from a rare original. It
presents the book in its entirety for the first time in 70 years.
The Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps provides solutions, from a
military perspective, to legal issues involving military
operations, organization, and personnel, wherever and whenever such
solutions are required, with primary focus on operations,
accountability, Sailor legal readiness, and Navy legal readiness.
The Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps have released to the public
hundreds of publications on different types of investigations. Some
of these include topics of: USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) Fire, USS Ranger
(CVA 61) Sabatoge, Loss of USS Turner (DD 6488=) and many more.

Designed as a replacement for the T-6 Texan, North American's T-28
Trojan first flew in 1949 and remained in production until 1957.
The T-28A was initially adopted as primary trainer by the U.S. Air
Force, but it served in this capacity for less than a decade. The
U.S. Navy and Marine Corps found the T-28B/C model aircraft well
suited to their needs, and continued to use it up until 1984, when
it was replaced by the T-34C turboprop. Despite its training
designation, the T-28 flew in a combat role, perhaps most famously
during the Vietnam conflict where Trojans performed close air
supportand counter-insurgency missions for the C.I.A. Modified
attack trainer T-28D "Nomads" also flew for the French in Algeria.
Originally created by the U.S. Navy in 1962, this T-28B/C pilot's
flight operating manual was required reading for pilots and
trainees. This high quality reproduction includes the original
manual in its entirety, includinginformation on carrier landing
training and emergency procedures. It's a fascinating reference
that puts you right in the cockpit of one of history's great
planes.
The Grumman F4F Wildcat was the primary Marine Corps and U.S. Navy
fighter aircraft during the opening year of WWII. Although the
Japanese Zero outperformed it, Wildcat pilots more than held their
own during the crucial battles at Coral Sea and Midway. Almost
8,000 Wildcats were built during the war, many of them by General
Motors. The G.M. versions, designated FM-1 and later the improved
FM-2, entered service after the faster Corsairs and Hellcats were
deployed. As a result most FMs flew from escort carriers, most
notably during the Battle off Samar where Wildcats helped turn back
the Japanese fleet. Originally printed by Grumman and the U.S.
Navy, this FM-2 flight operating handbook taught pilots everything
they needed to know before entering the cockpit. Once classified
"Restricted," the manual was declassified long ago and is here
reprinted in book form. This affordable facsimile has been slightly
reformatted. Care has been taken to preserve the integrity of the
text.
One of the most widely-used multi-role Allied aircraft of WWII,
Consolidated's PBY Catalina was a flying boat to be reckoned with.
They were used as anti- submarine warfare platforms in the
Atlantic, and gained notoriety in the Pacific as rescue and
reconnaissance platforms, and as bombers. With their distinctive
fuselages painted the shade of midnight, the "Black Cats" undertook
daring raids of Japanese shipping and shore installations.
Originally printed by the U.S. Navy during World War 2, this flight
handbook taught pilots everything they needed to know before
entering the cockpit. Classified "Restricted," the manual was
recently declassified and is here reprinted in book form. This
affordable facsimile has been slightly reformatted. Care has been
taken to preserve the integrity of the text.
The definitive technical guide to the submarines of World War II,
"The Fleet Type Submarine" was originally published in 1946.
Originally classified secret, this legendary book has never been
available to the public until now. The Fleet Type Submarine uses
the Balao-class USS Perch SS313 to explain submarine operating
principles, technologies, and systems. It contains numerous
diagrams and photos and offers definitions of components and
terminology. It provides descriptions of various systems such as
ballast tanks, trim, ventilation and steering. It also contains a
brief history of the submarine and a discussion of patrol routines.
This book is the most complete technical guide to the boats that
won WWII in the Pacific. Nothing close to it was ever assembled
before, or since. This affordable reprint comes in a soft bound
edition with attractive covers. Although some of the book has been
reformatted, and color images are reproduced in black and white,
all of the original content is preserved. (A color supplement is
also available). This is a must-have for anyone interested in
submarines and an important reference for any historian, docent, or
modeler.
Grumman's A-6 Intruder served as the Navy's pre-eminent
all-weather, medium attack aircraft from 1963 to 1997. Nearly 700
were built. The Intruder was aptly named, as the A-6 quickly proved
it could perform its mission -- flying low and alone in any weather
- better than any aircraft of its era. Known for its versatility,
the subsonic Intruder also gained a workhorse reputation due to its
range, ability to carry vast quantities of ordnance and fuel, and
its day and night striking capability. The A-6 served with
distinction in Vietnam, where it dropped more ordnance than the
B-52. Flying low-level raids, the aircraft was susceptible to
ground fire. 84 Intruders were lost, but the toughness of the
planes and their pilots made them legendary, and inspired the book
and film The Flight of the Intruder. In the years after Vietnam,
the aircraft built on its reputation. It served in the skies over
Lebanon in support of United Nations actions and flew punitive
raids on Libya in 1986, neatly evading over 100 guided missiles in
the process. During Operation Desert Storm, the plane logged more
than 4,700 combat sorties. The A-6 was retired by the Marine Corps.
in 1993, and by the U.S. Navy in 1997. A variant, the EA-6B
electronic warfare platform continues to fly. This pilot's manual
for the A-6 was originally printed by Grumman and the U.S. Navy.
Originally classified "restricted," it has now been declassified
and is here reprinted in book form.
This Manual is intended primarily for use by foundry personnel
aboard repair ships and tenders. The recommended practices are
based on procedures proved workable under Navy conditions and are
supplemented by information from industrial sources. The Manual is
divided into two general sections. The first section, chapters 1
through 13, contains information of a general nature, such as "How
Metals Solidify," "Designing a Casting," "Sands for Molds and
Cores," "Gates, Risers, and Chills," and "Description and Operation
of Melting Furnaces." Subjects covered in these chapters are
generally applicable to all of the metals that may be cast aboard
ship. The second section, chapters 14 through 21, contains
information on specific types of alloys, such as "Copper-Base
Alloys," "Aluminum-Base Alloys," "Cast Iron," and "Steel." Specific
melting practices, suggestions for sand mixes, molding practices,
gating, and risering are covered in these chapters. This manual has
been written with the "how-to-do-it" idea as the principal aim.
Discussions as to the "why" of certain procedures have been kept to
a minimum. This manual contains information that should result in
the production of consistently better castings by repair ship
personnel.
