The general arrangement is essentially the same as in the original, therefore references can be made in the familiar manner. Many additions have been made, however, to both text and illustrations. This has been done to improve the value of the manual to those who especially seek instruction and service information on the Hydraulic System of the B-24 Bombardment Airplane."
