NASM Archives Technical Drawings: United States Air Force Engineering Drawings on Microfilm

In the post-World War II years, the United States government committed large numbers of engineering drawings of aircraft and other aviation-related equipment to 35mm microfilm, resulting in over 16,000 rolls of microfilm covering over 600 different types of equipment. This microfilm is available to restorers, researchers, model builders, and the general public.
