Us Naval Aircraft Sacs

[MKSheppard]

Last year, I went to the US Navy Yard's Naval Historical Center, and scanned in about half the SACs they had available there.

 

What are SACs? Basically a couple of pages with each aircraft's performance data on them, intended to help in planning. Not as detailed or as intensive as the flight manuals issued to pilots, but good enough for our purposes.

 

I've included the HTML addy as a GIF in this post, since the forum won't let me link directly to the address.

 

PD = Performance Data (Early WWII Era)

ACP = Airplane Characteristics and Performance (WWII Era, lasted into about 1948)

SAC = Standard Aircraft Characteristics (Began being used around 1948, and as time went on, they became more and more detailed)

 

CS = Characteristics Summary
