Scope and Content

The Aircraft Training Manual Collection contains documents that were used by dispatchers, and air traffic controllers employed by Air America in 1967. It consists of material related to the dispatch, and control of aircraft, and contains training manuals, rules and guidelines, and procedures. The collection arrived in good condition and was initially processed with only a container list as description. Due to a change of the content management system, further description proved to be necessary.
