Aircorps Library Is Live

Innovative Online WWII Aircraft Resource Completed And Released World Wide, December 23, 2015.

AirCorps Aviation LLC of Bemidji, Minnesota announces the release of a collection of WWII and legacy aircraft resources delivered to members through an innovative platform designed for easy online access to this public information.

AirCorps Library consists of a site hosting 500,000 searchable drawings and blueprints, as well as manuals covering design, flight, maintenance, and restoration. The printable drawings are all quickly & easily accessible from a desktop or mobile device at high resolution.

AirCorps Library is unlike anything offered worldwide and is offered at an exceptionally reasonable cost. Memberships vary based on groups of aircraft member’s desire access to at a rate of only $25 or $50annually. The effort to process and rename the raw scanned microfilm blueprints to the original manufacturers' part numbers was years of work. The collecting of manuals, additional drawings and resources to add to the platform will be ongoing. But now, we celebrate by saying that the switch has been turned on and the resources are available worldwide.

To quote a couple of our initial test group of users:

  • "The thousands of resources within AirCorps library will be critical tour efforts in keeping these historic aircraft maintained and operating safely.” Bernie Vasquez - Texas Flying Legends Director of Maintenance & Warbird Pilot
  • "Immediately I was able to begin searching and drawing out parts in my cad software based on clearly legible measurements on the blueprints. I started by modeling the engine control panel, as it was a simple drawing of a basically two dimensional design. It was also the first thing I printed on my own 3d printer" -Justin Kramer - Flight Simulator & 30printing enthusiast.
  • "The effort AirCorps Aviation put in to scan and organize over 500,000 searchable drawings and manuals is nothing short of amazing and will be an invaluable asset for owners, operators, and enthusiasts alike.” - Taylor Stevenson - Warbird Pilot & WWII Aircraft Restorer

The goal of the program is to provide a cost effective platform for users to share Vintage Aircraft and Warbird resources. Those resources will in turn help promote, preserve, and insure that WWII and legacy aircraft fly safely through the 21st century. AirCorps Aviation's belief is that the information can grow exponentially as users see the value in contributing to the AirCorps Library community by sharing resources, knowledge, and experiences.

There are three different memberships’ available depending interests-Fighters, Bombers and Classics, which include the WWII Trainers and Liaisons.  Each of three memberships are available on an annual basis of $50, $50 and $25, respectfully.
