Thanks so much for the information 41Sqn_Banks! I'll have to keep my eyes open for some of these manuals. They’re fabulous. I've had good success obtaining used books on line from Abebooks. I'll start running some searches there and see what comes up... Good tip on the book scanner too. If I can find a book worth scanning, I’ll get the scanner ;) The work you've done obtaining these manuals and then creating the lovely images is outstanding, not to mention what we've all learned from the material therein. Thanks again for sharing!

I'm going to risk a newb. mistake of going back to the thread title, which was "A.P. 129 RAF Flying Training Manual, Part I - Landplanes". I have an unintentionally hilarious 1939 Hurricane manual, which is trying to explain how to deal with spins. It concludes with the following:

The instructions laid down in the Flying Training Manual Part I., Chapter III, paragraph 134, are applicable to the Hurricane, but should be amplified in light of the foregoing remarks.

I would love to get my hands on this paragraph 134, which probably says something like "get out of a spin before your altitude is too low." Does anyone have suggestions where to find it? I've got quite a collection of WW2 manuals, but mostly US.
Thanks.

If you send a personal message to 41_Sqn Banks, who originally posted the pages from the manual, he could most likely help.
