PIAGGIO P136
![]()
The first post-WW2 aircraft design produced by the
Piaggio company, the P.136 amphibian first flew in 1948.
Initial versions used 215 hp Franklin engines and were
acquired by the Italian Air Force. Some sales success
was found in the USA where it was marketed as the
Trecker Gull or Royal Gull, but with more powerful
Lycoming engines.
65 examples were built, and the basic type design
served as the basis of the later P.166 utility aircraft.
This CD contains the Italian Air Force flight manual for
the early model P.136 and two other manuals. This CD
has largely been copied from the original flight manuals
and retains any colour pages.
