B-17 Flying Fortress Manual CD
I reviewed the B-17 CD, and was very impressed with it.  All the files were in the Adobe Acrobat file format, allowing for viewing, searching, and zooming into each page.

The disc includes the flight manuals for each major model of the Flying Fortress, E, F and G as well as the RAF manual for Fortress I.

Each page is copied in high resolution detail, including all charts, diagrams and text.  The result is a joy for historians, aviation buffs or veterans who want to review their favorite aircraft from WWII.
