Hello all


I would appreciate any help in locating the following manuals for the
now retired A-6 Intruder aircraft, if anyone is able to help:


NAVAIR 01-85ADA-1A (Suppl NATOPS)
NAVAIR 01-85ADA-1T (Tactical Manual)
NAVAIR 01-85ADA-1T(A) (Suppl Tactical Manual)


A-6 Tactical Manual Volume II (NWP 55-3-A6, Vol.II / NAVAIR
01-85ADF-1.2T)
A-6 Tactical Manual Volume III (NWP 55-3-A6, Vol.III / NAVAIR
01-85ADF-1T(A)


I would prefer scanned PDF manuals dated between 1974 & 1976 for the
01-85ADA- manuals and 1986 or later for the 01-85ADF- manuals. I can
except other manuals depending on circumstance.


You can contact me via PM or via email at
wolfhound(*)6(*)at(*)gmail(*).com remove the (*) from the address e.g
wolfhound6....... and replace 'at' with @


Regards

Try contacting the Navy. Either BuPubs would have them in the archives
or they might be in the National Archives. For AF, AF History had
copies of the Dash-ones. At Maxwell AFB, Alabama.


Thanks for the leads frank. *What is BuPubs?

I have been looking for NAVAIR documents on the North American RA5C
for some time. All roads seem to lead to a naval archives at the North
Island Naval Base in California. They apparently have an archives for
the NAVAIRSYSCOM documents. BuPubs stands for the Bureau of Naval
Publications. By the way, the Naval Historical Center is at a total
loss when it comes to locating the material both you and I are looking
for. Give me a little time and I will come up with a contact at North
Island. I am in the process of contacting them for NAVAIR avionics
material on the mentioned aircraft (RA5C). The sad thing is that I
located the material I wanted some years back at the Naval
Publications Center in Philadelphia. They had already boxed it for
shipment to California (North Island ?).- Hide quoted text -

See the following article: http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=3417

"In the past, users had a hard time stocking the (publications)," said
Ruth. "A lot of our aircraft have very old publications - from the
'60's and '70's. Copies got lost, sometimes the original is illegible,
and with a constant turn-over in the fleet, it was hard to track down
who actually owned the publication."

The site she is referring to is known as the Naval Air Technical Data
and Engineering Services Command (NATEC). NATEC is part of NAVAIR and
is the central repository for all NAVAIR technical publications.
