BEECHCRAFT C-45 (MODEL 18) AT-7 AT-11 JRB

$9.95

Titles: Beechcraft C-45 No’s 1 to 4

The Beech Model 18 first flew in 1937 and was a much more modern design than the earlier Model 17 Staggerwing. At a time when there were a number of twin-engined light commercial aircraft under development, the Model 18 went on to achieve considerable success. It remained in production for 32 years, and even when production had been completed it remained a popular choice for upgrading and re-engining with several modification specialists.

Over 5,000 examples were manufactured during WW2 under several designations reflecting the specialised roles undertaken. The AT-7 was a navigation trainer; the AT-11 was a bombardier trainer with a bomb-aimers position in the nose; the C-45 was a light transport/communication aircraft; and equivalent models served with the US Navy under the SNB and JRB designations.

We offer four titles on this very attractive and versatile aircraft, containing flight manuals, brochures, a parts manual and two maintenance manuals for civil and military variants of the Model 18. The files have been copied from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages. Each title is US$9.95.
