Titles: Lockheed C-130 Hercules No’s 1 to 6

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules first flew in August 1954, and has been in continuous production since then, the longest continuous military aircraft production run at over 60 years. It was originally designed for troop, medevac and cargo operations, capable of operations from unprepared airstrips, but has been adapted for a large number of other roles including reconnaissance, AEW, search and rescue, communications, airborne assault, aerial refueling, etc.

Over 2,500 have been produced and it seems destined to remain in production for many more years. There have been so many different variants produced over the years that the alphabet has almost been used up. It has been operated by over 70 different air forces around the world. The latest variants feature new engines, propellers and systems but the basic airframe is largely the same. A number of companies offer upgrades to cockpits and structures to keep earlier aircraft operating past their original design lives.

We offer six titles for various marks of the C-130 Hercules. Each file has been scanned from the original flight manuals and retains any colour pages, unless otherwise stated. Each title is US$9.95.
