Hi Gang:

In 1996 I produced some half-decent copies of the 1970 Navy NAVSHIPS
manual for the R-390A.

The originals are pretty well much unobtanium. It is my understanding
that the NAVY required the old issues to be turned in and they are
destroyed. I got my hands on an original and made the copies from it.

I recently found two of the copies I made back in 1996 and since I now
have an original I am offering them up to members of this august
group. The cost will be $35.00 plus postage. If I get a number of
orders I will consider doing another print run. This is very
time-consuming as you can imagine but am willing to do it because the
NAVY manual is BY FAR the best technical reference available for the
R-390A. It is NOT a rehash of the Army/Air Force manual set.

An original is a nice thing to have, but a copy always loses something
in the translation. For those that need a truly better than original
manual, look into:

"The 21st Century R-390A/URR Technical Reference"

It is based on the May 1985 Navy manual, and has many enhancements.

It is a completely new creation, not a copy, or a scan. It is
available in pdf format, and has many new color pictures. It is
truly a work of art.

And it can be found free by simply googling the above title.
