Perhaps AN 08-10-213 (just an early edition of AN 08-10-265) or AN 
08-30APN1-2 (the maintenance book)? I have an extra copy of the former, 
if you need to round out your collection, but not of the latter.

RCA also published a civilian technical manual after the war - probably 
an AVQ-something. I have never seen one of these civilian tagged 
altimeters, but considering the eight bazillion surplus AN/APN-1s out 
after the war, I doubt RCA could sell many with any profit at all.
