Electrically - operated landing gear, tail gear, wing flaps and bomb bay doors, and hydraulically - operated brakes and cowl flaps are provided. This model airplane is equipped with auto- matic flight control equipment. The crew consists of pilot, copilot, navigator, bombardier, upper turret gunner, lower turret gunner, radio operator, waist gunner and tail gunner. The approximate overall di- mensions are as follows: Length 73 ft 9.66 in. Height, taxiing position 19 ft 1.00 in. Span 103 ft 9.38 in. b. Initial Entrance to Airplane. - The airplane is entered through the main entrance door located on the right side of the fuselage just forward of the horizon- tal stabilizer. Two other exterior doors are provided, one on the right side of the airplane below the right- hand elevator in the tail gunner's compartment, and the other on the left side of the airplane below the pilots compartment. All three doors can be locked with the same key. The main entrance door has a light switch to the left. (See figure 74-752.)

Octane : 100 ) Preferred Specification: AN-W-F-776 Octane : 91 (2) OU. Specification: AN9532 Viscosity : 1120 c. Automatic Engine Control. - Should engine con- trol cables be shot away, four of the controls will automatically assume a predetermined position as follows: Throttles Wide Open Turbo Regulator 65% Power Carburetor Air Temp (Intercooler) COLD Propeller Pitch 1850 rpm 3. Propeller. Hamilton Standard propeller, equipped with three blades, hydromaticaUy controlled, with constant speed and full feathering provisions. 4. Controls and Operational Equipment. a. Parking Brake. - To apply, push foot pedals, pull brake handle on and push pedals off. b. Control Locks. (1) Aileron Lock. - The aileron is locked by means of a pin which is manually inserted through a hole in the middle spoke of the pilots control wheel and a hole in the control column. The pin is clipped to the column when not in use. The aileron is locked in the neutral position. (2) Rudder and Elevator Lock. - The rudder and elevator locking lever operates by cable control to place a pin in a socket on a segment at each of these controls. The locking lever, which is recessed into the floor aft of the central control stand, locks either up or down and may be moved to the up (locked) posi- tion regardless of the position of the control surfaces, which will lock when moved to the locking position. The rudder locks in the neutral position and the ele- vator locks in the down position. To release the lock- ing handle, press the knob on the end of the handle. (3) Tail Wheel Lock. - The tail wheel locking lever operates a single cable to retract a spring loaded locking pin from a socket in the treadle. The locking lever which is recessed into the floor aft of the control stand locks in the up position only and may be moved into the down (locked) position regard- less of the position of the tail wheel, which will lock when centered. To release the locking handle, press the knob on the end of it. A red signal light on the pilots instrument panel is off when the tail wheel is locked and is controlled through a switch which is operated by motion of the locking pin. c. Trim Tabs. (1) The aileron trim tab knob controls the tab by means of cable operation of an actuating screw. Com- plete tab travel requires approximately 3-3/4 turns of the knob. (2) The rudder trim tab wheel controls the tab by means of cable operation of an actuating screw. Complete tab travel requires approximately seven turns of the wheel. (3) The two elevator trim tab wheels are on op- posite sides of the control stand and operate on the safe shaft to control the tabs by means of cable opera- tion of actuating screws. Complete tab travel re- quires approximately six turns of the wheel. - 10 - RESTRICTED From RareAviation.com Section I Par. 4 Continued RESTRICTED T. O. No. 01-20EE-1 d. Wing Flaps. - An electric motor-driven re- tracting mechanism operates the wing flaps through five actuating screws on each flap. The toggle switch on the pilots and copilots central control panel con- trols the flap motor. The time required to lower the flaps at 147 mph is between 15 and 30 seconds. e. Seat Adjustment. - Refer to figure 7 for com- plete instructions. Figure 7 - Pilots and Copilots Seat Adjustment Diagram f. A.F.C.E. - Control of the automatic flight con- trol equipment is by means of switches at the bottom of the pilots control stand and on the bombardiers control panel. A hand wheel for operation of attitude control is mounted on the control stand to the right of the servo switches. g. _ Modified A.F.C.E. - On serial Nos. AC41-9034 to 41-9245 inclusive only, an all-electric modified automatic flight control equipment system is in- stalled. Control is by means of switches and dials on the control stand. WARNING: Do not engage modified A.F.C.E. motors until all telltale lights are off. h. Bleeding the Brake System. - Bleeding of air from the brake system is automatically accomplished by several slow applications and complete releases of pressure through the brake metering valves. Dis- placed air will rise into the supply tank which is vented to the atmosphere. i. Fuel Transfer. (1) For transfer of fuel between tanks, a re- versible electric motor-driven pump and two selector valves are installed at the forward end of the bomb bay, and are controlled from the upper turret com- partment. (2) Selection of source and destination for fuel transfer is made by means of the valves. Each valve has four ports. One port is connected to a port of the transfer pumps and will be the inlet or outlet depend- ing upon the direction of transfer. The other three valve ports are connected to the two engine tanks and the bomb bay tank (when installed) on their respective sides of the airplane. With this simplified arrange- ment the transfer of fuel must always cross the cen- ter line of the airplane. In order to transfer between two tanks on the same side of the airplane it is nec- essary first to transfer to a tank on the opposite side of the airplane, then reset one valve for the final des- tination and transfer the fuel back to the desired tank. (3) The electric fuel transfer pump switch is composed of two double throw toggle switches with the handles linked together. The direction of throw of the switch handle corresponds to the direction of flow of fuel. In order to prevent operation of the transfer pump against a closed valve, a safety switch at each valve holds the electrical circuit open except when the valve is fully turned to one of the three tank posi- tions. On airplanes AC41-2523 to 41-2669 inclusive only, an emergency hand-operated fuel transfer pump is mounted on the bomb bay truss or on the right for- ward side of bulkhead five. This pump is substituted for the electrically-driven pump by disconnecting the electric pump lines from the two selector valves and connecting the hand pump lines. j_. Fuel Shut-Off. - The solenoid valves in the fuel feed lines near the booster pump at each engine tank are operated by means of four toggle switches adja- cent to the fuel boost pump switches. These valves are normally open and permit free flow of fuel except when energized by means of the toggle switches. Their purpose is to permit immediate shut-off of fuel at the tank when necessary. k. Primer. - The cylinder heat primer located on the side wall to the right of the copilot has four posi- tions corresponding to each of the four engines and an OFF position. The primer handle is locked only in the OFF position. To operate, push the handle down, turn the valve to the engine position required and then withdraw the handle and pump the charge to the cylinder head in the conventional manner. IMPORTANT: It should be noted, however, that pressure from No. 3 fuel booster pump is on the suction side of the primer and over- priming will result if the handle is left in the withdrawn position. Therefore, each priming operation should terminate with the handle returned to the locked position. L Engine Fire Extinguisher. (1) Selector Valve. - The selector valve on the auxiliary panel in front of the copilot may be turned - 11 - RESTRICTED Section I Par. 4 Continued RESTRICTED T. O. Ng, 01-20EE-1 to any one of the four engine positions in order to direct the discharge from the COz cylinders to the desired engine extinguisher ring. (2) Release. - Two pull handles, one on either side of the selector valve, are provided to control the discharge of the two COz cylinders. Do not attempt to distribute the discharge from one bottle to more than one engine, as the capacity of the single bottle will not be sufficient for effective use on either engine in that case. m. Bomb Doors. - Bomb doors are actuated by , remote control of an electric motor-driven retracting mechanism. The control lever at the left of the bom- bardier operates a toggle switch which in turn oper- ates the solenoid switches for control of the motor. The lever has three positions which correspond with switch positions for CLOSED, OFF and OPEN. n. Carburetor Temperature. - The shutters on the intercooler are cable-controlled from a stand at the right side wall in front of the copilot. Each of the four cables is operated by a slide which latches in any de- sired position throughout the range from FULL OPEN to FULL CLOSED. To release the latch, pull out on the handle. o. Cowl Flaps. - A bank of four valves on the cen- tral control panel provides control for the hydrauli- cally-operated cowl flaps. Each valve controls an actuating cylinder in the corresponding nacelle and is marked to indicate operation for opening or closing the flaps. Stops are provided within the cylinder so that the valve may be turned to OPEN"or CLOSE and left there temporarily but it is quite essential to turn the valve to LOCKED when the desired posi- tion of the flaps is reached even though the full travel is required. Slight cracking of the control valve will result in relatively slow travel of the flaps when close adjustment is desired. p. Oil Dilution. - Four momentary contact toggle switches on the side of the auxiliary panel in front of the copilot provide for oil dilution. Each switch op- erates a solenoid valve on the firewall in the corre- sponding nacelle, which will direct fuel from the car- buretor to the engine oil in-line. It is obvious that in order to provide easier cold weather starting, this function must be performed AFTER an engine run, immediately prior to shutting it off. WARNING: Do not dilute oil over four minutes. COLD WEATHER OPERATION: When oper- ating in cold climates, the propeller control will be moved from extreme increase to ex- treme decrease rpm slowly several times during the period of dilution. This operation will permit the filling of the propeller dome with diluted oil and will prevent sluggish re- sponse of the propeller when starting the en- gine. q. Emergency Bomb Release. - Two emergency release handles are installed, one on the side wall at the pilots left and one in the bomb bay at the forward end of the catwalk. The handle in the bomb bay is protected by a guard which may be moved out of posi- tion when desired. Pulling of either handle will result in immediate release of bomb door latches, and con- tinued pulling will result in release of all bombs salvo the instant the doors reach the full open position. For instructions on retraction of the bomb doors after emergency release, refer to figure 93. r. Landing Gear Warning Reset. - A momentary contact toggle switch on the pilots control panel is provided to permit the silencing of the landing gear warning horn when it is desired to continue in flight with one or more throttles closed. Operation of this switch, however, does not prevent repetition of the warning for subsequent closing of any throttle while the landing gear is up. s. Pitot Heat. - The two pitot heaters are operated by one toggle switch on the pilots control panel. t. Heating System. - The heating and ventilating system control is operated by means of a lever on the side wall at the pilots left. In the extreme forward position hot air from the system radiator is used to ventilate the interior of the airplane. In the middle (vertical) position, all hot air is by-passed overboard and the airplane interior is ventilated with cold air. In the extreme aft position no ventilating air at all enters the airplane interior. Intermediate positions of the lever between HOT and COLD provide ventilation with a mixture of hot and cold air, while intermediate positions between COLD and OFF provide diminishing ventilation with cold air only. NOTE: In order to prevent undue cooling of the other compartments, reduction of heat in the pilots compartment should be accom- plished first by means of the pilots and co- pilots air controls below the instrument panel. u. Vacuum Pump Control. - The selector valve on the side wall at the pilots left marked GYRO IN- STRUMENTS permits alternate use of either vacuum pump for the gyro instruments. The exhaust or pres- sure side of both vacuum pumps is always available for the surface de-icers, since it is not affected by the position of this selector valve. The intake or suction side is connected either to the vacuum in- struments or to the surface de-icer system, depend- ing upon the position of the selector valve. y. De-Icer Control. - The de-icer control valve, the handle of which is located on the floor panel at the pilots left, controls the surface de-icer system. Op- eration of this valve to the ON position starts the distributor motor by means of an integral switch and at the same time connects pressure from both vacuum - 12 - RESTRICTED From RareAviation.com Section I Par. 4 Continued RESTRICTED T. O. No. 01-20EE-1 pumps, and suction from one vacuum pump to the dis- tributor valve. In the OFF position the distributor valve motor is turned off, the pressure from the vacu- um pumps is exhausted overboard and the suction re- mains connected to the distributor valve in order to keep the de-icer boots deflated. w. Anti-Icer Control. - The propeller anti-icer switch on the left side wall to the rear of the pilot connects electric power to the two anti-icer pumps through two rheostats on the floor panel below it. The rheostats control the speed of the pump motors and may be used to turn the motors off if desired. Nor- mally the rheostats should be left at a position corre- sponding to a predetermined rate of flow and the pump motors turned ON or OFF by means of the toggle switch. x. Propeller Feathering and Unfeathering. (1) For propeller feathering, each propeller is controlled individually by one of the four magnetic push button switches located at the bottom of the in- strument panel. Each switch controls a solenoid switch in the corresponding nacelle which operates an electric motor-driven hydraulic pump on the fire wall. The push button switch is held in the closed position by a magnetic holding coil. When the propel- ler is completely feathered, hydraulic pressure in the system increases rapidly and at 400 Ib/sq in., a pres- sure cut-out switch on the propeller control head opens the push button holding coil circuit, which re- leases the motor control and the pump stops. If it is necessary to stop the feathering operation before its completion, the switch may be pulled open by hand. (2) In order to unfeather the propeller, hydraulic pressure in excess of 600 Ib/sq in. is required. For this condition the pressure cut-out switch will prevent use of the magnetic holding coil. Therefore, the push button switch must be manually held in the closed po- sition until unfeathering has been accomplished. NOTE: When unfeathering a propeller on a cold engine, do not allow the engine speed to exceed minimum governing speed until oil pressure and oil temperature appear satis- factory. Turn off the ignition before feather- ing any propeller. Do not operate more than one propeller feathering switch at a time ex- cept in emergencies. y. Pilots Compartment Radio Controls. (1) General. (a) All of the communications equipment may be operated to some extent from the pilots compart- ment. Receiver and transmitter frequency selection of this equipment may be controlled with the excep- tion of the liaison equipment which must have both its transmitter and receiver frequencies set from the radio operators position. CAUTION: For normal operation of all com- munications equipment, the radio range filter selector switch (figures 28-362 and 32-393) should be set at BOTH. To receive the radio range without possibility of voice interference, set the selector switch to RANGE. To re- ceive voice without range interference, set selector switch to VOICE. It is impossible to receive voice when this switch is set on RANGE." NOTE: The headset extension cord should be plugged into the range filter control box and not into the interphone jackbox or the receiver control box. IMPORTANT: When the throat microphone is being used for either interphone or radio com- munication, it must be adjusted so that its two circular elements are held snugly against each side of the throat just above the adams- apple. SPEAK SLOWLY, DISTINCTLY, AND IN A NORMAL TONE OF VOICE. Shouting will seriously distort the voice signal. (b) A possible means of limiting noise level in all radio equipment, caused by adverse conditions such as rain, snow, ice or sand, is to direct the radio operator to proceed as follows: L Place the antenna change-over switch (fig- ure 42-514) to the fixed antenna position. 2. Release approximately 50 feet of the trail- ing wire antenna. 3. Ground the trailing wire antenna post di- rectly to the airplane structure, e.g., to the metal support for the transmitter tuning units. (2) Interphone Equipment RC-36. - The pilots and copilots interphone jackboxes (figures 28-359 and 32-391) have five selective positions marked on the face of each box, as follows: COMP: The audio output of the radio com- pass is heard. LIAISON: The pilot may voice modulate the liaison transmitter and hear the audio output of the liaison receiver. COMMAND: The pilot is able to modulate the command transmitter and can hear the audio out- put of the receiver. INTER: In this position the pilot may communicate with any other crew member who also has his interphone jackbox switch at the INTER position. CALL: This is an emergency position which enables any crew member to call all other members of the crew regardless of the position of their interphone jackbox switch. - 13 - RESTRICTED Section I Par. 4 Continued RESTRICTED T. O. No. 01-20EE-1 (3) Command Set SCR-274-N. (a) General. - The command set is designed for short range operation and is used for communi- cating with nearby aircraft for tactical purposes and with ground stations for navigational and traffic con- trol purposes. (b) Receiving. - The interphone jackbox switch must first be placed in the "COMMAND position. The receiver control box (figure 23-256) is divided into three identical sections, each of which controls the particular receiver to which it is electrically and mechanically connected. Reception of a signal of specific frequency as indicated on the dial is accom- plished by the use of the section of the receiver con- trol box which controls the particular receiver in- volved. The desired receiver is turned on and off by a switch located in the right aft corner of the control box section used. This switch, in addition to having an OFF position, has two selective positions marked "CW and MCW, each of which is an ON position and indicates the type of signal which is to be re- ceived. The A-B switches should be left in the A position at all times and need not be turned off when the receivers are turned off. NOTE: When tuning receiver for a definite frequency, always turn dial a little to each side of the frequency calibration mark to find the point where the signal is the strongest. (c) Transmitting. L Before transmitting, adjust radio receiver to the same frequency as the station with which you desire to converse, and listen in to be sure that the operator is not talking to some one else. If the station is transmitting, take advantage of the opportunity to more accurately set the airplane receiver on the as- signed frequency, and when the other operator is finished, proceed with your transmission. 2. Throw the switch marked "OFF-ON" on the transmitter control box (figure 23-262) to the "ON position. Select type of transmission desired with switch marked TONE-CW-VOICE. With the switch in the "VOICE position, the microphone from any interphone jackbox switched to the COMMAND position will be operative and voice will be trans- mitted when the push-to-talk button on the control wheel is pressed. With the switch turned to the "CW position, a "continuous wave, or unmodulated signal will be transmitted, and with the switch turned to the "TONE position, a modulated tone signal is trans- mitted. Greatest effective range can be obtained on "CW. Range is most limited when operating on VOICE. 3. On both the CW and TONE positions, the microphones are inoperative, and signalling by code is accomplished by a key which is located on the forward end of the transmitter control box (figure 23- 262). NOTE: To reduce battery drain and to in- crease dynamotor life, the TONE-CW-VOICE' switch should be left on VOICE unless con- tinued use on CW or TONE is expected. (4) Radio Compass SCR-269. (a) Set the interphone jackbox switch to the "COMPASS position, if aural reception of the com- pass receiver is desired. If only visual indication is desired, the switch does not have to be set in the COMPASS position. (b) The radio compass equipment is designed to perform the following functions: 1. Aural reception from the fixed antenna or from the rotatable loop. For signal reception during interference caused by precipitation or proximity of signals, the loop will prove superior. 2. Aural-null directional indication of an in- coming signal with the loop only in use. 3. Visual unidirectional left-right indication of an incoming signal. (c) The receiving unit is turned on or off by a switch on the face of the remote control box (figure 23-256), which, in addition to having an "OFF posi- tion, has three other positions: COMP, ANT and LOOP. 1. With the switch in the "COMP position, both the rotatable loop and the fixed antenna are in use. 2. In the position marked "ANT, only the fixed antenna is in use. 3. With the switch turned to the LOOP po- sition, only the rotatable loop is in use. (d) If the green indicator on the face of the con- trol box does not light, depress button marked "CON- TROL to establish control at this unit. Select fre- quency band desired as indicated in kilocycles on the face of control box and tune by use of the crank to the desired frequency. The loop may be rotated to any position as indicated on the radio compass azimuth indicator (figure 20-217) by use of switch marked LOOP L-R. This particular operation is possible only when operating on "LOOPposition of the selec- tor switch. During periods of severe precipitation static, operate on "LOOP. For best aural reception, rotate the loop by means of the LOOP L-R switch until a maximum signal is obtained. Proper volume may be obtained by use of knob marked AUDIO. (5) Marker Beacon Equipment RC-43. - Since the operation of the marker beacon equipment is fully automatic, no manual operation is necessary. As the ship passes over a fixed point from which a marker beacon signal is being transmitted, the signal is picked up by the receiver, causing the indicator (figure 20) - 14 - RESTRICTED From RareAviation.com Section I Pars. 4 and 5 RESTRICTED T. O. No. 01-20EE-1 to flash on, showing the pilot that he has passed over a marker beacon. The marker beacon equipment is simultaneously turned on when the radio compass is put into operation. The position of the interphone jackbox switch does not affect the operation of the marker beacon equipment. (6) Liaison Set SCR-287. (a) The liaison equipment is to be used for long range communication. Limited control is available to the pilot. The type of reception and transmission de- sired must be forwarded to the radio operator who will in turn put the radio equipment in operating condition. (b) Set the interphone jackbox switch (figure 28- 359) to LIAISON position to receive or transmit with the liaison equipment. (c) It is possible for all crew members to re- ceive on this equipment, but only the pilot, copilot and radio operator may transmit. (7) Radio Set SCR-535 (IFF). - The destroyer push button switch for this equipment (if installed), is marked DANGER and is located on the top of the instrument panel hood. It should be used only when it is contemplated abandoning the airplane over un- friendly territory. When this switch is operated, a detonator is set off in the receiver which is located in the radio compartment. The explosion of the de- tonator will destroy the receiver internally. No dam- age should occur to either the airplane or personnel at the time of destruction of the set, but bodily contact with the receiver at the time of detonation should be avoided. (8) Radio Set SCR-578 (Emergency Transmitter). - The emergency transmitter, located in the aft end of the radio compartment, is intended for use in the event of an emergency water landing. Detailed instructions will be found in paragraph 11.a. of section XIV. z. Emergency Operation of Hydraulic System. - The hydraulic hand pump is installed in order to pro- vide an emergency source of hydraulic pressure for the brakes should the engine-driven pump supply fail. Adjacent to the pump handle on the side wall at the copilots right a controllable check valve (hydraulic valve) permits use of the hand pump for building up pressure in the hydraulic accumulator when desired. In the NORMAL position the hydraulic valve directs the hand pump output to the brakes and cowl flaps only. In the PRESSURE STORAGE position the hand pump output is applied to the entire hydraulic system and may be used to build up system pressure in the accumulator. Therefore it is important that this valve be kept in the NORMAL position at all times except when the PRESSURE STORAGE posi- tion is actually being used. aa. Oxygen System Filler Valve. - The filler valve connection on the filler line and the relief valve con- nection on the distribution line are located on the bulkhead just forward of the front entrance door. 5. General Flying Characteristics. a. General. (1) Increasing the power on the inboard en- gines causes the airplane to become slightly tail heavy, while a change of power on the outboard en- gines has no appreciable effect upon the trim. (2) Closing the cowl flaps on the inboard engines causes a tail heaviness, but cowl flaps on the outboard engines have a negligible effect upon the trim. (3) With the airplane properly trimmed for a landing with power off and flaps down, the pilot may safely apply power, throw the flap switch into the UP position and proceed to take off with no change in trim tab setting if a second approach is necessary. The flaps retract at a satisfactorily slow rate. (4) During the take-off run, directional control should be maintained with combination rudder and throttle movement, the differential throttling being done with the outboard engines as much as possible. During a climb under normal loading the airplane will require very little elevator trim tab and the elevator control pressure will build up rapidly as the climbing speed is reduced below normal. (5) In level flight, turns can be made very smoothly with aileron control only. In instrument flight, the pilot should pay special attention to holding the wings level because the directional stability pro- duces a noticeable turning tendency with one wing down, and care should be taken to avoid excessive use of the ailerons. (6) Loading the airplane for extreme rearward eg positions will be avoided. Loading for forward eg positions is preferred because, in addition to being easier to fly, it gives a smooth increase in elevator forces required to pull out of dives. (7) In rough air the ailerons and rudder can be used without concern regarding excessive loads. Both aileron and rudder forces vary in such a manner with changes in air speed that it is essentially impossible to damage the system without deliberate effort to do so. The forces required are small enough and the resultant responses large control of the airplane. (a) In the case of the elevators, however, care must be exercised in rough air and in recovery from dives to assure smooth operation. In thun- der storms, in squalls and enough to maintain ample - 15 - RESTRICTED RESTRICTED T. O. No. 01-20EE-1 Section I Par. 5 Continued in or near extremely turbulent cumulous clouds it is possible to develop excessive load factors by means of the elevators unless proper care is exercised. The larger the airplane, the greater the time and distance required to complete a maneuver. (b) Rough air operation should be made on the basis of holding constant air speed by means of the elevator. Corrections for changes in altitude must be done by means of power and for very rapidly rising air currents it may be necessary to lower the landing gear. b. Stalls. (1) The increased length of the after portion of the fuselage and the change in location of the horizon- tal tail surfaces have greatly improved the stalling characteristics. Under no condition is there any sharp tendency to roll at the stall. Under all conditions, a stall warning of several miles per hour is indicated by buffeting of the elevators. A pitching motion started by the elevators will be damped slowly and will easily reduce the air speed well below the stall unless it is deliberately stopped. If the air speed is decreased rapidly near the stall, the speed at which the stall will occur will be lower than when the stall is approached gradually. (2) Stalling speed depends upon the gross weight, load factor (the number of gs), the power, the wing flap setting de-icer operation and ice formation. Full flap reduces the stalling speed about 15 mph for gross weights between 40,000 and 45,000 pounds and a load factor of 1.0, but full military power for the same loading conditions may reduce the stalling speed another 15 mph. (3) Accidental or deliberate yawing will increase the stalling speed and increase any tendency to roll at the stall. The ailerons have a tendency to overbalance and reverse effectiveness. THE PROCEDURE WITH REGARD TO THE AILERONS IN RECOVERING FROM A STALL IS TO HOLD THEM NEUTRAL AND REFRAIN ENTIRELY FROM THEIR USE. (4) Procedure for recovering from a stall is normal. Air speed for normal flight must first be regained by smooth operation of the elevators. This may put the airplane into a dive of thirty degrees or less. RECOVERY FROM THE DIVE MUST BE DONE IN A SMOOTH MANNER. The penalty for failure to make a smooth recovery may be a RESTALLING of the airplane or a STRUCTURAL FAILURE, both due to excessive load factors. The air speed increase necessary to regain normal flight need not be more than 20 mph. Excessive diving to regain air speed is absolutely not essential for re- covery from a stall. c. Spins. - Inadvertent spinning is very unlikely and probably very difficult, as directional stability and damping are very high. Spinning should NEVER be attempted. There is no tendency present in the airplane to spin. d. Dives. - Diving speed is limited at 305 mph I.A.S. with the wing flaps up and the cowl flaps closed. When diving, it is essential that the sensitivity of the elevator trim tab be constantly kept in mind. In mak- ing dives the elevator trim tab must be set during the dive to maintain zero elevator force and must be used with great care during recovery. An excessive amount of tail heavy trimming can easily result in excessive load factors on recovery from a dive unless the pilot exerts extremely high forces on the elevator control column to counteract the trim tab effectiveness. e. Climbs. (1) The ceiling and climb at 35,000 feet are greater than on most pursuit fighters, but the high speed is not as great at normal altitudes; therefore, in order to out-perform an enemy at 35,000 feet, it will be necessary to out-climb him rather than to out-distance him. (2) The increase of speed obtained by nosing the airplane down below the horizontal at rated power and at any high power condition is smaller than that ob- tained by fighters. (3) In order to obtain maximum climb, the fol- lowing technique should be used: (a) Air speed: Maintain a minimum of 135 mph during climb. (b) Propeller speed should be increased to 2500 rpm. The increase in rpm has a very appreciable effect in increasing propeller efficiency and rate of climb under climbing speed and high altitude condi- tions, and is not detrimental to the engines. The pilot should avoid the use of less than 2500 rpm when interested in a high rate of climb at high altitudes. (c) 21,300 rpm has been determined to be the maximum operating turbo rpm with a 5 percent over- speed allowance in emergencies. This would provide an emergency rating of 22,400 rpm. At any altitude greater than 30,000 feet and at any power obtained in automatic rich (with 2300 rpm or 2500 rpm, full throt- tle and turbos set for correct manifold pressures) the exhaust gas temperatures are dropping rapidly and it is very unlikely that any critical temperatures will be approached. The following tentatively determined manifold pressures will give safe operation of the turbo under the following conditions: NOTE: All four turbo installations are not identical, and therefore operation according to the following table will not result in identi- cal turbo rpm for all engines. - 16 - RESTRICTED From RareAviation.com RESTRICTED T. O. No. 01-20EE-1 Section I Par. 5 Continued TABLE OF MANIFOLD PRESSURES FOR LIMITING TURBO RPM (TENTATIVE: Based on the best present available information for maximum performance) Altitude Manifold Pressures Giving Rated Power at 2300 Engine RPM and 21,300 Turbo RPM Manifold Pressures Giving Military Power at 2500 Engine RPM and 21,300 Turbo RPM 10,000 20,000 30,000 31,000 32,000 33,000 34,000 35,000 39.5 39.0 38.5 38.0 38.0 37.5 35.5 34.0 32.5 46 45 42 40.5 39.0 37.5 36.0 34.5 (4) The outboard engines have higher critical altitudes than the inboard engines by approximately two to three thousand feet, and the inboard engine without boilers in the stack has a 1500 feet higher critical altitude than the one with the boilers in. The critical altitude of the outboard engines, as far as limiting turbo rpm is concerned, is 31,000 feet. (5) The above table actually applies only to the outboard engines. However, the differences between the inboard and outboard engines are covered by the margin of safety incorporated in the turbo itself. It will be noted that even though 22,400 rpm are allowa- ble for military power operation, the right-hand col- umn of the above table is made for 21,300 rpm. This gives the margin of performance necessary to cover the operation of the inboard engines. f, Approaches. - During an approach very little change in elevator trim is required. As the flaps are lowered, the airplane becomes slightly tail heavy, but if it is trimmed slightly nose heavy at 147 mph with flaps up, it will be properly trimmed at 120 mph with flaps down. This is a satisfactory approach speed for gross weights below 50,000 pounds. CAUTION: The hydraulic pressure must be carefully observed at all times. In case of a pump or system failure, the copilot should ascertain that the hydraulic valve is set in NORMAL POSITION and should use the hand pump to maintain pressure for the brakes during the landing. g. Engine Failure During Flight. - Directional control can be maintained easily with a two-engine failure on one side, if the air speed is held above 140 mph. With a one outboard engine failure, directional control can be maintained at air speeds in excess of 120 mph. - 17 - RESTRICTED RESTRICTED T. 0. No, 01-20EE-1 81. Emergency Hand Pump 82.

Before Entering the Pilots Compartment. a. Airplane Loading. - Check weight and balance clearance prepared by ground loading personnel. This may be rapidly and accurately accomplished by using a load adjuster instrument. The following instruc- tions and sample loading problem are published as condensed instructions for the information and guid- ance of all personnel using a load adjuster to deter- mine change in balance from the basic airplane to the loaded airplane as flown, and to insure that the weight distribution of all items loaded above and beyond the basic airplane weight and balance will not produce a weight and balance condition beyond permissible limits. b. Application of Load Adjuster. - A load adjuster and carrying case for the model B-17E airplane will be found located on a mounting hook adjacent to the data case. Secure this instrument andascertain that the serial number for the airplane being loaded is identical with the serial number inscribed on the car- rying case identification card. (See view A.) CAUTION: The airplane model designation stamped on every load adjuster indicates that the instrument may be used for balance calcu- lation on any AAF airplane of that particular model. However, the INDEX figure entered on the carrying case identification card is correct only for the specific airplane serial number printed directly above, and represents the bal- ance moment of that individual basic airplane. c.

This will move the airplane index to 71.2 as illus- trated in view W. (13) Balance Correction. (a) Adding the weights of all items loaded (refer to paragraph l.c.) shows the gross load of the airplane well within allowable limits, and, as far as weight is concerned, the airplane may be flown. However, the load adjuster indicator center line is located in the red portion of the loading range which absolutely pro- hibits any attempt to fly the airplane because of a dangerous tail heavy condition. (14) With the indicator center line remaining on the last index setting (71.2), move the slide until TAIL on the CREW CHANGE - ONE MAN - 200 LBS. scale is under the indicator center line as illustrated in view X. Move indicator until its center line is over NOSE. This changes the balance moment of one man from the tail to the nose compartment, and moves the air- plane index to 55.9 as illustrated in view Y. (b) This out-of-balance condition may be corrected by shifting some of the load, or a member of the crew from an aft position to a forward position in the airplane, the amount of change required being predetermined by a trial shift of load on the load adjuster. In this sample case, shifting the tail gunner to the nose compartment will bring the airplane bal- ance within eg limits. This is determined in the fol- lowing manner: (15) The airplane is now within permissible eg limits although the indicator center line is in the yel- low portion of the LOADING RANGE scale. The pilot will notice a slight tail heaviness when the indi- cator center line is in this yellow portion, which can be corrected with the tab adjustment for satisfactory flight. More perfect balance could be obtained by moving an additional member of the crew forward. CAUTION: Do not shift or dispose of any load without predetermining (by use of the load ad- juster) that the balance will remain within - 32 - RESTRICTED From RareAviation.com restricted T.O.

Failure of an engine during take-off may not be noticeable immediately except for a resultant swing. If, therefore, a swing develops, and there is room to close the throttles and pull up. this should be done. b. If it is necessary to continue with the take-off even though one engine has failed, hold the airplane straight by immediate application of rudder. Gain speed as rapidly as possible. See that the landing gear is up, or coming up, and feather the propeller of the dead engine. For detailed instructions for feath- ering and unfeathering the propellers, refer to para- graphs ll.g., ll.h. and ll.i. of this section. Retrim as necessary. f.

If the flight plan calls for a continuous flight where the desired cruising power and air speed are reasonably constant after take-off and climb to 5000 feet, the fuel required and flight time may be com- puted as a single section flight. (1) Within limits of the airplane, the fuel required and flying time for a given mission depend largely upon the speed desired. With all other factors re- maining equal in an airplane, speed is obtained at a sacrifice of range, and range is obtained at a sacrifice of speed. The speed is usually determined after con- sidering the urgency of the flight plotted against the range required. The time of take-off is adjusted so as to have the flight arrive at its destination at the predetermined time. (2) Select the FLIGHT OPERATION INSTRUC- TION CHART for the gross weight to be used at take- off. Locate the largest figure entered under G.P.H. (gallons per hour) in column I on the lower half of the chart. Multiply this figure by the number of hours desired for reserve fuel. Add the resulting figure to the number of gallons set forth in footnote No. 2, and subtract the total from the amount of fuel in the air- plane prior to starting of engines. The figure obtained as a result of this computation will represent the amount of gasoline available and applicable for flight planning purposes on the RANGE IN AIR MILES sec- tion of the FLIGHT OPERATION INSTRUCTION CHART. (3) Select a figure in the fuel column equal to, or the next entry less than, the available amount of fuel in the airplane as determined in paragraph 2.a.(2) above. Move horizontally to the right or left and se- lect a figure equal to, or the next entry greater than, the air miles (with no wind) to be flown. Operating values contained in the column number in which this figure appears, represent the highest cruising speed possible at the range desired: however, the airplane may be operated in accordance with values contained under OPERATING DATA in any column of a higher number with the flight plan being completed at a sac- rifice of speed, but at an increase in fuel economy. (4) Using the same column number selected by application of instructions contained in paragraph 2.a.(3), determine the indicated air speed (in mph or knots, whichever is applicable to the calibration of in- struments in the airplane) and gallons per hour listed at sea level in the lower section of the chart under the sub-title OPERATING DATA. Divide this IAS into the air miles to be flown and obtain the calculated flight duration in minutes, which can then be converted into hours and minutes and deducted from the desired arrival time at destination in order to obtain the take- off time (without consideration for wind). To allow for wind, use the above IAS as ground speed and calculate a new corrected ground speed with the aid of a flight calculator or by means of a navigators triangle of velocities. (5) The airplane and engine operating values listed below OPERATING DATA in any single numbered col- umn are calculated to give constant miles per gallon at any altitude listed. Therefore, the airplane may be operated at any altitude and at the corresponding set of values given so long as they are in the same column listing the range desired. CAUTION: Ranges listed in column I under Max. Cont. Power are correct only at the altitude given in footnote 1, and the engine and airplane operating data listed under OPERAT - ING DATA will give constant miles per gallon if operation is consistent with values set oppo- site the listed altitudes. (6) The flight plan may be readily changed at any tinfe enroute, by following the INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING CHART printed on each chart. The chart will show the balance of range at various cruising powers. (7) Multiple charts are provided to give accurate data for operation at different gross weights, different external load conditions, and/or different combinations of engine use, such as two-engine operation, four- engine operation, etc. Extreme care should be ex- ercised to assure the selection of the correct chart applicable to the specific operating condition. b. If the original flight plan calls for a misslor. requiring changes in power, speed, gross load or ex- ternal load, in accordance with the titles shown at the top of each FLIGHT OPERATION INSTRUCTION CHART provided, the total flight should be broken down into a series of individual short flights, each computed as outlined in paragraph 2.a. in its entirety, and then added together to make up the total flight and its requirements. Tabulated Flight Operation Charts, per AAF Speci- fication 40107-B, will be incorporated in this Handbook as soon as they are available. - 59 - RESTRICTED Ra reAviation.com RESTRICTED T. O.

It extends from the rear of the bombardiers seat to the bulkhead which forms the forward end of the pilots compartment. The com- partment contains oxygen, interphone, lighting and navigational equipment controls, bomb sight storage box, a CO2 fire extinguisher and antenna controls. b. The radio compass receiver is supported above the aft end of the navigators table and may be re- motely controlled either from the pilots compartment ceiling or from the control unit on the receiver sup- port by the navigator. 2.

There is no physical separation between it and the navigators compartment other than the armor plate on the back of the bombardiers seat. The compartment contains bomb controls, in- terphone and oxygen controls, instrument and control panels, a bomb rack indicator panel, a flexible .30 caliber machine gun with six ball mounts, and heating and ventilating system inlet on the floor and an outlet in the ceiling. 2. Operational Equipment. a. Lighting, (1) An extension light (figure 52-610) and switch (figure 52-611) are located on the instrument panel to the left of the bombardiers seat. Operation is con- ventional. (2) The bombardiers flexible light (figure 53- 623) is mounted above the bomb controls. It is con- trolled by a rheostat switch (figure 53-622) at its base. b. Emergency Equipment. - The emergency escape route is through the navigators compartment and out the front entrance door. (See figure 3.) c. Seat Adjustment. - For complete seat adjusting instructions, refer to figure 54. Figure 54 - Bombardiers Seat Adjustment Diagram d. Interphone Tackbox. - The jackbox is located on the right side of the compartment just forward of the drift meter. Operation is conventional. (See figure 55) e. Oxygen Controls. - An oxygen regulator is lo- cated beside the interphone jackbox. Operation is conventional. (See figure 55.) f. Bomb Controls. (1) Bombs are normally released electrically, but they can be released mechanically in an emergency. Electrical control provides for individual release of bombs either singly (selective) or continuously at pre- determined intervals (train). The release sequence, which is from bottom to top of the racks in the order of 1, 2, 4, 3 as numbered from left to right, will be followed regardless of the loading, as unloaded sta- tions will automatically be skipped. Mechanical con- trol is always in SALVO by operation of the bombar- diers release handle or by operation of either of the two emergency release handles. The bomb release control lever (figure 53-627) is installed to the left of the bombardiers seat and has three positions, as follows: (a) Safe. - In the "SAFE position the bomb racks are locked against any release of bombs except by means of the emergency release handles. A mech- anical interlock in the bomb bay prevents the move- ment of the bomb release control lever out of the "SAFE position until the bomb doors have been fully opened. (b) Operate. - In the "OPERATE position the bomb racks are prepared for electrical release by operation of the release switch or by automatic oper- ation through the bombsight. (c) Salvo. - Placement in the "SALVO position releases all bombs simultaneously and unarmed. (2) A bomb door control handle (figure 53-625) is located next to the bomb controls. It operates a double throw toggle switch which controls the solenoid switches for the bomb door retracting motor. A lug on the side of this handle is located so that when the door handle is in the "CLOSED position, the bomb release lever cannot be moved out of the "SAFE position. CAUTION: If bombs are carried above the 2000-lb bomb, they MUST NOT be released until the D-6 shackle and adapter have been removed. This definitely requires "SELEC- TIVE release control for the 2000-lb bomb. - 100 - RESTRICTED From RareAviation.com RESTRICTED T.O.

The upper turret compartment is located directly behind the pilots and copilots seats. It is equipped with oxygen and interphone controls, two thermos bot- tles with a paper cup container, a fire extinguisher on the aft wall, an auxiliary oxygen bottle for the turret operator, eight oxygen bottles which furnish part of the oxygen for the air lanes master system, and the upper turret containing twin .50 caliber machine guns. 2. Operational Equipment. a. Lighting. - Light for the compartment is fur- nished from the dome light (figure 23-261) in the pilots compartment. The switch (figure 23-260) is located just aft of the light. An extension light (figure 60-672) and switch (figure 60-671) are located inside the turret on the right-hand side. A panel light (fig- ure 59-665) and switch (figure 59-666) are located on the left wall of the compartment and another panel light (figure 58-654) and switch (figure 58-653) are located on the aft bulkhead on the right side above the fire extinguisher (figure 58-656). b. Interphone Controls. - A jackbox (figure 59-667) is located on the wall of the airplane to the left of the turret next to the panel light. Operation is conven- tional. c. Oxygen Control. - An oxygen regulator (figure 60-674) is located inside the turret on the right side looking aft. The regulator is connected with the aux- iliary bottle attached to the lower part of the turret. When the supply of the bottle is exhausted, a connec- tion is provided on the outside of the turret (figure 60-661) for attaching and refilling the bottle from the airplanes master oxygen system. Operation of the regulator is conventional. d. Armor Protection. - The upper gunner is pro- tected from enemy fire by armor plate on the bulkhead between the turret compartment and the bomb bay. (See figure 61.) e. Fuel Transfer Controls. (1) For transfer of fuel between tanks, a re- versible electric motor-driven pump and two selector valves are installed at the forward end of the bomb truss, with the motor switch (figure 62-677) and the two selector valve handles (figure 62-678 and -679) located on the bulkhead below the door between the bomb bay and the upper turret compartment. On air- planes AC41-2523 to 41-2669 inclusive and 41-9011 to 41-9245 inclusive only, a hand-operated emergency fuel transfer pump is located at the aft end of the bomb bay truss, and is easily substituted for the motor-driven pump in case of an emergency. NOTE: In order to transfer fuel between two tanks on the same side of the airplane, it is necessary first to transfer the fuel to a tank on the opposite side of the airplane, then reset one valve for the final destination and transfer back to the desired tank. Refer to figure 63 for further fuel transfer operating instructions. (2) The fuel transfer switch (figure 62-677) is composed of two double throw toggle switches with the handles linked together. The direction of throw of the switch handle corresponds to the direction of flow of fuel. In order to prevent operation of the transfer switch against a closed valve, a safety switch at each valve holds the electrical circuit open except when the valve is fully turned to one of the three tank positions. WARNING: Do not inadvertently use the bomb bay valve position when the bomb bay tanks are not installed. No provision is made for elimination of the position when the valve port is not in use.

No. 01-20EE-1 RESTRICTED f, Turret Operation. (1) General. (a) Displacement of the guns in elevation is controlled by lifting or depressing the hand control grips (figure 64-684). The direction of such dis- placement (Increasing or decreasing) corresponds to the direction of the hand grip motion about the horizontal axis. (b) Rotation of the turret is obtained by turning the hand grips about their vertical axes. The range knob (figure 64-686) is mounted conveniently between the grips, so that the gunner can rest both thumbs on this knob while holding the grips in the palms of his hands. This knob sets the range in the computing sight. (c) The hydraulic power unit furnishes the mechanical power for driving the turret in azimuth and the guns in elevation. (d) A gun firing switch (figure 64-687) is mounted to the rear and at the upper end of each hand grip. The two firing switches are connected in parallel so that either switch can be used to fire the guns. A power or deadman switch (figure 60-673) is provided on each grip; these switches are also con- nected in parallel so that the gunner can operate the turret when either hand rests on a grip. This type of switch is provided so that in event of a mishap to the operator, causing his hands to fall off the grips, it will open the power circuits of the turret and stop all turret motion and firing of guns. (2) Preflight Operation. (a) Allow hydraulic units and sight to warm up at least five minutes before take-off. (b) Engage power clutches. (c) See that hand cranks are disengaged. (Do not disengage until after power clutches have been engaged.) (d) Move main gun switch (figure 65-692) to ON position. (e) Place sight switch (figure 64-682) in ON position. (f) Close deadman switches (figure 60-673) on hand grips. Section VII Par. 2 Continued (g) Check response of azimuth and elevation mechanisms by manipulating the hand grips (figure 64-684). (h) Turn range knob (figure 64-686) and observe that reticles move in response. (i) Adjust reticle light to desired brilliance (approximately). (j) Check ammunition. If possible, the rounds should be assembled with type M-2 extra flexible linkage. (3) Flight Operation. (a) Charge both guns twice. (b) Turn on main gun switch (figure 65-692). (c) Turn on gun selector switches (figure 65- 683 and -691) as desired. (d) After ammunition is used, charge guns at least twice to clear out live shells. NOTE: If guns jam or misfire, recharge the guns by pulling on the charging handles. (e) Move turret to 3200 mils azimuth (aft) and guns to 0 elevation when not in use. (f) In event of power failure, the turret may be controlled by the azimuth hand crank (figure 64-685) and the elevation hand crank (figure 65-688) as set forth in the following paragraph. It is not possible to track a target when the hand cranks are used, since the movement of the guns and turret would be too ir- regular for accurate sighting even if the gunner could manipulate all the controls at one time. The hand cranks may be used, however, for positioning the turret and guns so that they point to the approximate position of the target. (g) When it is necessary to use the hand cranks, the following procedure should be followed exactly as indicated: 1.. Engage azimuth and elevation hand cranks. 2. Disengage power clutches. 3. Move turret and guns in desired direction. 4. When finished, re-engage power clutches. 5. Be sure to disengage hand cranks before operating power motor again. - 109 - RESTRICTED RESTRICTED T.O.

The sight- ing station is equipped with an automatic computing sight which is mounted on a cradle which can be turned in azimuth and elevation. The operator con- trols the cradle which, by means of two pairs of auto- syn transmitters, controls the operation of the turret. (b) The knob on the left-hand grip is used to elevate or depress the cradle and also to transfer such motion to the transmitters. The right-hand grip incorporates the range knob (figure 67-703) and the firing key. Ranging and firing can be accomplished without removing the hand from the grip. (c) An elevation hand crank (figure 68-718) and an azimuth hand crank are provided on the turret to permit manual operation during adjustments or in the event of a power failure. It is essential that these hand cranks be disengaged when the guns are driven by the power unit. (2) Preflight Operation. (a) Check to see that power clutches are en- gaged and that hand cranks are disengaged. (b) Turn main ac and de switches "ON." (c) Turn sight switch "ON." (d) Open needle valve on accumulator and re- lease pressure; allow pump to circulate oil for two minutes, and then close valve and check proper cut- out interval. (e) Allow a few minutes for sight and hydraulic mechanisms to warm up. (f) Move sighting station in azimuth and eleva- tion and check the synchronous motion of the turret and guns.

(See figures 27 and 82) The bomb load can be released in an emergency at two places in the airplane besides the bombardiers station. One emergency bomb release is located on the step at the forward end of the bomb bay truss, and the other is located in the pilots compartment on the floor to the left of the pilot. When either handle is pulled steadily, the bomb doors open immediately and when they have reached their limit, all bombs will be dropped salvo. Refer to figure 93 for additional bomb release procedure. 6. Fire Extinguishers. a. Two types of fire extinguishers are used on this airplane: hand extinguishers and an engine system. b. Three OOz extinguishers are located as fol- lows: one on aft bulkhead in navigators compartment to the right of the door, one on aft bulkhead of the upper turret compartment to the right of the door, and one on the forward bulkhead of the radio compartment to the right of the door. Two carbon tetrachloride extinguishers are located as follows: one on the co- pilots seat support and one aft of the main entrance door on the lower right side of the bulkhead. c. The fire extinguishing system for the four en- gines is controlled by the copilot by means of a se- lector valve and two release handles. Operation dis- tributes CO2 around the engine selected through a perforated tube. Each release handle discharges a bottle of CO2 which is not sufficient to serve more than one engine. Therefore, the selector valve should remain in position fora sufficient length of time after release to fully discharge the bottle. If a fire occurs in another nacelle, reset the selector valve and re- lease the second charge. For detailed operating in- structions in case of fire during flight, refer to sec- tion II, paragraph 11. 7. Life Raft and First Aid. a. Life Raft. (See figure 44.) - Two automatic ejector life raft installations are provided, one on each side of the enclosure fairing at the rear of the upper turret above the bomb bay.

Alarm bell signals are used and are usually pre- arranged between the crew members. The signals usually differ with each airplane crew. One bell is located on the bottom side of the navigators table, one is above the radio operators table, and the other is in the tail wheel compartment above the tail wheel boot. The bells are controlled by a toggle switch on the pilots side control panel. (See figure 27.) 10. Suggested Methods of Abandoning Airplane. a. General. (1) Warning Signals. - Three methods enable the pilot to communicate with the crew: the alarm bell system, the phone call lamps, and the interphone sys- tem. For emergency purposes, the alarm bell should be used in a prescribed manner which is thoroughly understood by all the crew. All signals are given by the pilot. If a commander is present, he will direct the pilot to give the desired signals. (2) Exits. (a) Top hatch in radio compartment. Usually used for abandoning the ship after a water landing. Removed by four small release handles on the cover. (b) Front entrance door. Has an emergency release latch. (c) Bomb Bay. Doors can be opened by either of two emergency releases, one to the left of the pilot and the other in the bomb bay just aft of the door in the forward bulkhead. (d) Each side gun window. (e) Main entrance door. Has an emergency release latch. (f) Tail hatch. Hasan emergency release latch. WARNING: Although rapidity of movement is necessary, it must be remembered that body movement with a parachute is restricted in small quarters. Therefore, care is necessary to avoid bodily injury or damage to the para- chute, either of which may prevent bailing out. This applies particularly to head blows. b. In Flight. (1) Signal. (a) Stand by to abandon: one long ring (approxi- mately 6 seconds). (b) Abandon: three short rings (approximately 2 seconds each). (2) Paths of Egress. (a) Upon the signal to stand by to abandon ship, all members of the crew should fasten on parachutes and prepare to leave the plane through the designated exit. (b) The bombardier releases and stands by the front entrance door. (c) The navigator stands by the front entrance door. He will first determine position if pilot (or commander) so directs. (d) The pilot will open the bomb bay doors and release bombs (or tanks) with his release, or instruct either the copilot or another crew member to do so with the other release. (e) If a gunner is in the upper turret, he will stand by to jump through the bomb bay. (f) The radio operator will prepare to leave through the bomb bay, first sending any messages designated by pilot (or commander). (g) The engineer will open and stand by the right side gun window. (h) The tail gunner will release and stand by the tail hatch door. (i) Additional crew members will release and stand by main entrance door. ft) The copilot will prepare to leave through the bomb bay on direction of the pilot (or commander). (k) The pilot (and commander, if present) will leave through either the bomb bay or the front entrance door. (3) Switches. - The situation will determine whether fuel and electrical systems should be turned off prior to abandoning ship. Under normal conditions in an area outside of a combat zone, the following switches should be turned off: (a) Master Switch (figure 24-291). (b) Battery Switches (figure 27-349). - 140 - RESTRICTED From RareAviation.com RESTRICTED T. O. No. 01-20EE-1 Section XIV Par. 10 Continued (c) Fuel Shut-off Valves (figure 24-279 and -281). c. Fire in Flight. (1) In case of engine or wing fires, open the emergency exits. Stand by to abandon: one long ring (approximately 6 seconds). (2) In case of a cabin fire, the exits should NOT be open. However, it may be desirable to have the crew stand by to .abandon without opening the exits. For this the signal is: Stand by to abandon - Exits Closed: one short ring (approximately 2 seconds; one long ring (ap- proximately 6 seconds); one short ring (approximately two seconds). d. Crash Landing. (1) Signal. (a) Stand by for crash landing: by interphone. (b) Abandon: four short rings (approximately 1/2 second each). (c) Pilot should: L Cut engines. 2. Master switch (figure 24-291) - OFF. JI. Battery switches (figure 27-349) - OFF. 4. Fuel shut-off valves (figure 24-279 'and -281) - OFF. (2) Egress. (a) All crew members will take proper stations, remove parachutes, and fasten safety belts upon re- ceiving interphone warning. (b) At the signal to abandon, all crew members will leave the plane through the most practicable exit. (See figure 94.) (c) In addition to the seven standard exits, the two side windows in the pilots compartment are pos- sible exits. (d) In case some of the exits are blocked by fire, damage, or congestion, it may be best to make exit through a rupture in the fuselage if any have oc- curred. Caution is required in this process to avoid fatal cuts from metal or broken glass. (e) If there is imminent danger of fire, all per- sonnel should disperse at least 50 feet from the air- plane. e. Landing on Water. (1) Signal. Stand by for water landing: by interphone. Abandon ship: as ordered verbally. (2) Duties: (a) At the interphone warning all crewmembers will fasten on life vests. They will take proper stations and secure safety belts except as noted below. (b) Pilot (upon direction of commander, if pres- ent) will: 1. Release bomb bay tanks if carried and more than half full. 2. Direct bombardier to release all bombs and close bomb bay doors. 3. Direct navigator to determine position. 4. Direct radio operator to send distress sig- nal. 5. Make normal slow landing, flaps down, gear up, contacting water slightly tail first. (c) Copilot will: L Cut engines, feather propellers, cut all fuel and ignition switches. NOTE: Engines must be left on until radio and interphone are no longer necessary. 2. Assist pilot as directed.

Emergency Operation of Radio Equipment. a. Operation of Portable Emergency Radio Trans- mitter (Type SCR-578-A). (1) General. (a) A complete self-contained portable emer- gency transmitter is provided for operation anywhere away from the airplane. It is primarily designed for use in a small boat or life raft, but may be placed in operation anywhere a kite can be flown, or where water may be found. The unit is usually stowed in the aft end of the radio compartment next to the transmitter tuning units, and is equipped with a small parachute to permit dropping from the airplane in event of an emergency. (b) When operated, the transmitter emits an MCW signal and is pretuned to the international dis- tress frequency of 500 kc. Automatic transmission of a predetermined signal is provided. Any searching party can home on the signal with the aid of a radio compass. (c) No receiver is provided. (2) Removal from Airplane. (a) If the airplane has made an emergency land- ing on water, the emergency set should be removed at the same time that the life raft is removed. The set is water-proof and will float, and therefore it is not necessary to take any precautions in keeping the equip- ment out of the water. Be sure that it does not float out of reach. (b) The emergency set may be dropped from the airplane by use of the parachute attached. The altitude of the airplane when dropping the equipment should be between 300 and 500 feet. To drop the equipment, the following steps should be observed: 1- Tie the loose end of the parachute static line to any solid metal structure of the airplane. CAUTION: Be sure the static line is in the clear and will not foul. 2. Throw the emergency set out through a convenient opening in airplane. Parachute will be opened by static line. CAUTION: DO NOT attach static line to any part of ones body when throwing the equip- ment through the opening. (3) Operation. - Complete operating instructions are contained in one of the bags which contain the equipment. Complete instructions for the use of the transmitter are also located on the transmitter itself. b. Interphone Equipment Failure. - In the event of interphone equipment failure, the audio frequency section of the command transmitter may be substi- tuted for the regular interphone amplifier. To make this connection, the pilot should place his command transmitter control box channel selector switch in either No. 3 or No. 4 position. Set the interphone jackbox selector switch (figure 28-359) on COM- MAND to place the interphone equipment in opera- tion. NOTE: When the command transmitter control box channel selector switch is set in either - 142 RESTRICTED From RareAviation.com RESTRICTED T. O. No. 01-20EE-1 Section XIV Par. 10 Continued No. 3 or No. 4 position for emergency opera- tion of the interphone equipment, it is not pos- sible to establish communication with any sta- tion or any other airplane. It is possible at all times to resume normal command set opera- tion by placing the channel selector switch of the command transmitter control box back in either No. 1 or No. 2 position. c. Substitution of Radio Compass Receiver for Low Frequency Command Set Receiver. - If the low frequency receiver of the command set fails, the radio compass receiver may be substituted, with the pilot having direct control over the compass receiver. To complete this emergency hook-up, the pilot must set his interphone jackbox selector switch (figure 28-359) in the COMPposition and then place the radio com- pass selector switch (marked OFF, COMP, ANT, LOOP) in the ANT position. The radio compass can then be tuned as desired. d. Substitution of Liaison Receiver for Low. Medi- um and/or High Frequency Command Receiver. - In case of failure of the low, medium and/or high fre- quency receiver of the command radio equipment, the liaison receiver may be substituted, but the pilot will have only limited control over it. The pilot should first call the radio operator on the interphone system and tell him what frequency he desires to receive, that he is switching the interphone selector switch (figure 28-359) to the LIAISON position, and for him (the radio operator) to time in this frequency and maintain the setting until further advised. e. Command Set Transmitter Failure. - In case of failure of the command set transmitter, the liaison transmitter maybe substituted. The pilot should first call the radio operator on the interphone and have him adjust the liaison transmitter to the frequency he de- sires to use. He should then set his interphone selec- tor switch (figure 28-359) to LIAISON position and operate his microphone button in the same manner that he did when the command set was in operation. When he is through using the liaison transmitter, the pilot should place the interphone selector switch in the INTER position and tell the radio operator to cut the liaison transmitter off so as to reduce the load on the electrical system. NOTE: When substituting one receiver for another, such as the compass receiver for the command receiver, the pilot must move his interphone jackbox selector switch (figure 28- 359) to the COMMAND or LIAISON posi- tion in order to transmit. At the end of the transmission, he must switch back to the posi- tion of the receiver being used. This will have to be done every time that the pilot desires to hold a two-way conversation. NOTES: - RESTRICTED - 143 - Section XV Par. 1 RESTRICTED T. O. No. 01-20EE-1 SECTION XV COLD WEATHER. OPERATION 1. Operation and Handling. a. Engine Oil Dilution System. (1) Controls and Indicators. (a) The oil dilution system provides a method of diluting or thinning the engine oil with gasoline at the end of each engine run in order to facilitate start- ing the engine in cold weather. (b) The system consists of four electric sole- noid-operated oil dilution valves, each located on the front of its respective engine fire wall, the necessary piping and wiring, and four toggle switches on the co- pilot's control panel. (c) The engine oil should be diluted prior to stopping the engines when there is a possibility of the engine oil temperature dropping below approximately 5 degrees C (41 degrees F) during the period the en- gine is to be inoperative. (2) To Dilute Oil. (a) Maintain a speed of 800 rpm for each engine. If an engine speed in excess of 800 rpm is maintained, the oil temperature will exceed the maximum tem- perature limit set for the diluting period. Fuel vapor blown from the breather outlets to the exhaust stacks by the propeller blast also creates a fire hazard. NOTE: It is impossible to dilute the engine oil unless the engine is running. (b) Maintain the oil temperature of each engine below 50 degrees C (122 degrees F) during the dilution procedure. The ideal temperature is 40 degrees C (104 degrees F). If the oil temperature exceeds 50 degrees C (122 degrees F), the gasoline will evaporate as rapidly as it is introduced into the oil and will leave the oil with its original viscosity. This vapor- izing fuel exhausting from the breather outlets creates a dangerous fire hazard. If the temperature exceeds 50 degrees C (122 degrees F) when the airplane is landed, the engines must be stopped and the oil allowed to cool to approximately 35 degrees C (95 degrees F) before the engines are started again to accomplish oil dilution. (c) Hold the oil dilution switches in the "ON " position for four minutes plus the time required for the propellers to stop rotating. The engines must be stopped at the end of the dilution period by moving the mixture control (figure 25-303) to the "IDLE CUT- OFF position. The fuel pressure should show a drop from the normal pressure to approximately 4 or 5 Ib/sq in. during oil dilution. If a sharp decrease in fuel pressure is not noted, check the oil dilution elec- trical circuits, the oil dilution valves and pressure gages for the source of the trouble. (d) Electric booster pumps need not be running during the dilution period. (e) When the engines are started subsequent to engine oil dilution, normal starting procedure, as out- lined in section II, paragraph 3., should be followed. (f) No dilution of the reserve oil supply is nec- essary because this oil is not circulated through the engine lubrication system. This reserve oil is auto- matically admitted through the accelerating well to the lubrication system to replace the oil consumed in engine operation. (g) The copilots instrument carries dual oil pressure (figure 21-236) and temperature gages (fig- ure 21-243). Pressure is measured at the pressure side of the oil pump. Oil temperature is that of the oil entering the engine and is taken at the y valve when the oil leaves the tank. b. Propeller Oil Dilution. - When operating in cold climates with oil dilution equipment, the propeller control will be moved slowly from extreme increase to extreme decrease rpm several times during the period of dilution. This will permit the filling of the dome of the propeller with diluted oil and prevent sluggish response of the propeller when the engine is started the next time. c. Portable Ground Heaters. (1) When operating under freezing conditions, use typeD-1 portable heaters (figure 95), if available. The weather conditions may require preheating of engines and cabins prior to first flight. (2) It requires approximately 15 minutes to heat the engines at minus 17.8 degrees C (0 degrees F), and approximately thirty minutes at minus 34.4 de- grees C (30 degrees F). Each heater is normally equipped with three flexible warm air ducts. (3) One heater may be used in light freezing weather to heat two engines and the cabin at a time. Extreme cold weather might require that the entire output of one heater be directed into each engine and one into the cabin. The heater weighs approximately 210 pounds, is equipped with two rubber wheels, and is easily handled by one man. CAUTION: Whatever method is used for pre- heating the engines, extreme care must be taken to prevent accidental ignition of the gas fumes from the engine breathers, caused by vaporization of the gasoline in the oil. - 144 - RESTRICTED From RareAviation.com RESTRICTED T. O. No. 01-20EE-1 Figure 95 - Type D-l Portable Ground Heater - 145 - RESTRICTED RESTRICTED T. O. No. 01-20EE-1 Section XV Par. 1 Continued d. Cold Weather Starting ok Engines. (1) When the engines are to be started for warm- up, or to be repeatedly started and stopped for ground test purposes or alert, engines will be primed and the oil dilution system operated in accordance with instructions given above in paragraph l.a. of this section. (2) During cold weather operation, drain the oil pressure gage line and refill with instrument oil. WARNING: In warming a cold engine in ex- tremely cold weather, start with the cowl flaps closed. DO NOT gun engine to more than 900 rpm until oil has reached a temperature of 40 degrees C (104 degrees F). e. Batteries. - Energizers or battery carts are generally used for cold weather starting, as this is more practicable than heating the batteries. Batteries should be maintained at not less than minus 12.2 de- grees C (10 degrees F). Lower voltage at extremely low temperatures causes malfunctioning of all elec- trical equipment. NOTE: To safeguard batteries, remove them from the airplane and store them in a heated place when the airplane is to be idle overnight. f. Protective Covers. - Airplane covers, consist- ing of tarpaulins with ropes for securing to the air- plane, will be used on the wing, tail surfaces, fuselage, engines and compartment enclosures to provide pro- tection against frost accumulation. g. Frost or Ice Remover. - When it is necessary to remove frost or ice from areas of the airplane, melt a small area at a time with hot water, then flush this area with denatured alcohol before the hot water freezes. Pay particular attention to hinges and con- trols. Alcohol should be used for cleaning frost off windows and windshields. h. Mooring. - If, due to extreme cold weather, mooring stakes cannot be driven into the ground, use a pick or other sharp instrument, and dig a hole ap- proximately eight inches deep and eight inches square. Into this hole place deeply notched stakes crosswise, and then tie the mooring rope to the stakes. Fill the hole with water which will freeze the stakes and rope fast. If stakes are unavailable, dig the hole, coil the rope in the bottom of it and then fill with water. If possible, head the airplane into the wind before tying down. i. Communication Equipment. - The following equipment is adversely affected by extreme cold weather: (1) Dynamotor. - The increased viscosity of bearing lubricants may prevent the dynamotor from starting, resulting in blown fuses. If this occurs, the grease should be removed and oil substituted as a lubricant. (2) Operating Controls, Hand Switches, Etc. - Stiffness of operation may occur. Oil should be re- moved in order to prevent drag and binding. (3) Storage Batteries. - Cracking occurs around the edge of the case. Batteries should be kept charged above 1.290 specific gravity to prevent cracking. (4) Microphones. - The hand microphone is un- satisfactory for use in cold weather. Moisture col- lects and freezes in the small holes of the microphone cap. Throat type microphones should be used for all cold weather operations. (5) Transmitters. - In certain types of trans- mitters, frequency shifts occur with wide changes in temperature. Consequently the transmitter must be returned and checked until a relatively stable tem- perature is reached. (6) Antennae. - Icing is prevalent on all types of antennae. The whip is the most satisfactory type in this respect and should be used instead of v types for radio compasses. (7) Plugs (Tacks). - Cracking occurs on the PL- 54. No remedy can be effected. (8) Antenna Shock Mount. - The rubber type shock mounts become very brittle and break in ex- treme cold weather. A compression type spring can be used for replacement. - 146 - RESTRICTED From RareAviation.com RESTRICTED T. O. No 01-20EE-1 Appendix I Glossary APPENDIX I U. S.
