Curtiss SB2C Helldiver Pilot's Flight Operating Manual

Known as "The Beast" by the men who flew it, the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver's ruggedness and ability to survive steep, fast dives earned the plane the grudging respect of the Navy and Marine pilots who flew it.

A reproduction of a previously restricted U.S. Navy manual, this book takes you inside the cockpit of the Helldiver and shows you everything you need to know for takeoff. You even get pilot's notes for this famously hard-to-fly plane! 130 pages, B&W photographs and illustrations, 8½"x 11", softcover.
