Hi,
Thanks for that, unfortunately not, I’m after the actual aircraft Handbuch (manual)
Just as a little aside: German Documents for WWII aircraft follow roughly this system:
The Ersatzteilliste, Which translates as spare parts list; this contains annotated drawings and is used to identify which individual part numbers make up the aircraft e.g. Fuel pump A will require washer X, bolt Y and plate Z to attach to fuselage frame 1
The Handbücher, Manuals. These are descriptive and explain the aircraft systems and how they operate together. They are comprised of multiple books that cover each part of the aircraft, e.g. fuselage, wings, engine etc. They also contain the Electrical Parts list (you’d think that would come in the ersatzteilliste!) and the electrical schematics.
Bedienungsvorschrift, operating instructions, these explain how to operate certain systems and the aircraft.
Reparaturanleitung, Repair manual, this covers what repairs you can make, how to carry them out and to what tolerances.
Lehrbildreihe, Instructional picture series. These are large pictures used for teaching the mechanics aircraft parts and systems.
Additionally to these major manuals for the aircraft you will then have many many manuals and separate parts list that cover the individual components of the aircraft, e.g the aircrafts parts list will simply state that the aircraft requires Pump X, the manufacturer will then produce a parts list for the pump, instructional drawings for it, a repair manual for it and possibly a descriptive manual explaining how it operates and so on!
It is easy to get hold of the main aircraft manuals and parts list but to get hold of the individual component parts list and manuals is not so straight forward!
Additionally to all of this are the manufacturers blue prints and manufacturer instructions, for most things these simply no longer exist!
