Breguet Br.1150 Atlantic — Flight Manual & Flight Handbook, Multi-Operator Edition

The Breguet Br.1150 Atlantic was the definitive Western European maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft of the Cold War era — purpose-built to a 1958 NATO specification and operated by France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy. Designed by the Société Anonyme des Ateliers d'Aviation Louis Breguet and managed through the multinational SECBAT consortium, the Atlantic combined an 18-hour mission endurance, a 9,000 km range, and a double-bubble pressurized fuselage with a dedicated unpressurized 9-metre weapons bay — a configuration that set the standard for NATO maritime patrol operations for three decades. This collection brings together five primary-source flight manuals from three distinct operators, spanning from the original 1964 manufacturer's handbook to the 1987 German Luftwaffe change-incorporated edition.
