AN 01-50KA-4 Airplanes parts catalog for AT-19 - Reliant I
The AT-19 was the military version of the Stinson Reliant, a popular light aircraft design from the '30. I have a particular interest in illustrated parts catalogs as they allow us to explore visually the aircraft construction. This particular manual was printed in 1944 and has 228 pages

The S205 was designed in Italy by SIAI Marchetti in the mid sixties. It was a light all-metal aircraft and around 620 were built. 65 fuselages were transported to the USA to be assembled by the Waco Aircraft Company. The two manuals added to the library are the parts catalog and the service manual. They were produced by SIAI for Waco.
