When you have time, can you show to us some pages with technical drawings from inside the booklet, if possible ? This post has been edited by Florin on August 04, 2013 03:24 pm |

There are few technical drawings in this book, they tend to be mostly diagrams of systems (fuel system, hydraulic system, electrical system, oil system, etc). The drawings are very stylised and schematic. There are some photos of some areas of interest (cockpit, fire extinguisher, oil cooler, fuel tanks, etc), but the book is very text-heavy. Irrespective of that, t is a very valuable resource if you want to know how the plane worked.

The old technical books have their unique charm. It is fascinating to see how intelligent people solved problems with what they had available in their time, with solutions that were many times different of what we use today.

Indeed, in this particular book there are some technical terms and language that are obsolete by today's standard but the text is very interesting nevertheless.
I had the opportunity to see three of these books and each one of them is unique because the mchanics used to adnotate them. The I.A.R.80 was constantly changed throughout its life but this book stayed the same all the way through, so the mechanics "updated" the book by hand.  Radu |
