NORTH-AMERICAN / RYAN NAVION

$9.95

Titles: NA / Ryan Navion Titles 1 to 3

The Navion was designed in 1946 by North American Aviation who could see the end of large scale military aircraft production and needed something to service the anticipated post-war civil aircraft boom.

However, North American lost money on all 1100 odd examples it built in 1946 and 1947, and sold the complete program to Ryan Aeronautical Company. Ryan built a further 1200 odd before ending production in 1951. 246 Navions out of the total produced by both companies were supplied to the USAF as the L-17 for liaison and training purposes. A single example of a true military trainer, the model 72, was produced in 1953 to compete unsuccessfully against the Beech T-34 for USAF and US Navy contracts.

Ryan then sold the program to another company in 1957 who produced a new and improved version. The program passed through a number of corporate hands while being produced in small numbers until 1976, when production finally ceased.

We offer three titles for the Navion, covering the flight and maintenance manuals for most military and civil versions along with several manufacturer’s brochures. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages. Each title is US$9.95.
