Description

Apollo: Set of Nine North American Aviation Apollo Block II Training Manuals Ranging 1967-68. A rare and exceptional set of nine Apollo Block II training manuals, issued by North American Aviation under its Apollo Logistics Training Program for internal instruction of spacecraft engineers and contractor personnel. Each bears the distinctive Apollo spacecraft silhouette and is boldly marked "For Training Purposes Only." These manuals date from 1967-1968, the critical period following the Apollo 1 redesign, and reflect the fully realized Block II Command and Service Module (CSM) configuration flown on Apollo missions. The set provides in-depth subsystem coverage across propulsion, guidance, communications, power, and environmental systems, illustrating the rapid evolution of spacecraft technology. As follows.

Block II CSM Propulsion Subsystem, Mar 17, 1967.
Apollo Operations Handbook, CSM Block II Preliminary, Subsection 2.6 (Electrical Power System), Mar 17, 1967
Guidance and Control Systems - Block II (Master Copy), May 23, 1967.

Telecommunication Subsystem - Block II, Apr 8, 1968.

An exceptional and cohesive Block II training archive, documenting the precise systems configuration used for every manned Apollo mission. These manuals capture the transitional moment when the Apollo spacecraft reached operational maturity, bridging development and flight, and represent some of the most technically detailed surviving documentation produced by the program's prime contractor. Age related wear and toning, overall fine.
