Hello

Apologies if this has been asked before (I have not been able to find such a post).

Is there a complete list of spitfire air publications available? Both pilots notes, maintenance manuals and schedules of spares etc.

So for example, can we complete a list from AP1565A and onwards?

AP1565A -
AP1565B -
AP1565C -
AP1565D -
AP1565E - Pilots notes for Spitfire VA, VB and VC and Seafire IB, IIC and III
AP1565F -

And so forth through to the AP2816 series for the later Marks.

Thanks,
Aircraft

The examples in my (incomplete) collection tends to agree with you except Marks 22 & 24 which are AP 2816 B & C. The Seafire was AP 2280 A,B,C for the I,II,III. D&E for the XV & XVII, F&G for 45 & 46 and H for the 47.
