Wasn't quite sure whether this belonged in the "Websites" or "Bookshelf" section, but I elected to choose the latter because the links I'm about to share pertain to a publication, despite the fact excerpts of it are available online.
In the Miles Boxcar thread, Matthew Long (a.k.a. cluttonfred) pointed me to the excellent IOPA Europe magazine General Aviation and so I decided to go and have a look at whatever articles are available online for download from previous issues.
There's a lot more there than I thought initially... Anywhere, here is a selection of especially valuable resources which you can download for free:
DE HAVILLAND
