BEECHCRAFT T-34 MENTOR

Titles: Beechcraft T-34 Mentor No’s 1 and 2

The T-34 was originally built by Beech as a private venture, evolved from the model 35 Bonanza with a new fuselage and conventional tail. The original Model 45 Mentor first flew in 1948 and since then over 1,000 have been built in three main variants.

The USAF used the T-34A as its primary trainer, taking 450 examples in the mid 1950’s, some built in Canada by CCF. The US Navy acquired 423 T-34B’s for use as primary trainers, also in the mid 1950’s. In 1973 the US Navy evaluated the T-34 converted to turbine power using the 715 hp PT6A-25 engine, and following a satisfactory evaluation, ordered 183 new production examples. Production of the T-34C eventually totaled 353.

We offer two titles including flight manuals covering all major variants of the T-34, plus a manufacturers maintenance manual for the early variants and two manufacturer’s publicity brochures. The flight manuals have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages unless otherwise stated. Each title is US$9.95.
