That engineer's manual is for the L-749 with single-speed superchargers, so it is only good for very general reference. The A2A manual contains all the information direct from the L-049 and C-69 manuals that pertain to the COTS simulation. The amount of information in the manuals was very lean for those airplanes because of the way they were operated and their short period in "front line" operations. Quickly replaced by the L-649/749, there don't appear to be the in-depth manuals produced that we came to expect a few short years later. What was produced was much on the level of the manuals for military aircraft during WWII - short and to the point. It assumed that anything not performed daily by the crew would be dealt with by the maintenance troops, so there was no need to publish it in the flying manuals. It was instead left to the Maintenance Manuals which were quite detailed and voluminous, but rarely seen today on the market.

Edited for spelling mistakes.

Thanks for the insight. I knew it was too good to be true!!
