This CD contains manuals on three post-war piston twins
produced by North American.The P-82 (later F-82) was developed from the P-51 Mustang
as an extremely long-range bomber escort fighter and saw
active service in Korea, downing the first enemy aircraft in
that conflict.The AJ-1 Savage was developed specifically to deliver
nuclear weapons. It's curious mixture of piston engines and
one jet engine was a result of both the lack of performance
of early jet engines and the high weight of early nuclear
weapons.
A turbo-prop powered version of the Savage was built as
the XA2J Super Savage but engine reliability problems delayed
development until the introduction of the jet-powered A-3
doomed the project.The CD has been scanned from the original flight manuals unless
stated and retains any colour pages..
