FAIRCHILD F-27 FRIENDSHIP

$9.95

Title: Fairchild F-27 Friendship

The holy grail for aircraft manufacturers post WW2 was the replacement for the DC-3, and Fokker came the closest with the F-27 Friendship. The prototype first flew in 1955, and when production ended in 1987 it had become the most successful European turbo-prop transport with 586 examples built. The Fairchild company in the USA took a licence and built a further 207 aircraft. Later Fairchild models were designated FH-227.

This title contains the flight manual for the Fairchild built F-27 aircraft, plus two manufacturer’s colour brochures. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
