Wish you'd asked before the holidays. My alma mater has a copy in the engineering reference section of their library. It's library use only but students / alumni can make copies - I'd have made some. Unfortunately I'm back across the country now.
On that note, I'm not sure where you are located but you can check your local university.
A link would be great. I was never able to get a copy through Inter-library loan as they could only locate one copy and it was in a special collection that doesn't get loaned.
Initially I was thinking of sending the link in a PM to those interested. But I think actually it should be alright just to post it in the thread. Try this:
DANG... thought I had a copy of the Chance-Vought Aircraft [CVA] SAM for You... However my copy was actually a CONsolidated Vultee AIRcraft [CVA] Corp SAM, Circa 1944.
If anyone is interested. I also have copies of several 'other' Corp SAMs from the 1960s thru 1980s, which I've picked-up thru the years and probably shouldn't mention, but I'm trying to 'down size' my home library to worthy sites/orgs/individuals.
IF interested, ask what I have, I'll say yay or nay.
NOTE. One manual I've found useful for hand calcs...

Is there a way to contact you through personal message? Would you happen to have the old Boeing SAM? I know there is one out there as I have seen it, but wasn't able to get it long enough to scan.
Don't have a Boeing SAM... But I do have a copy of the 'Boeing Mini-Design Manual' [BMDM]... intended for use-by [and training-of] new structures engineers...
I was a new-hire at Piper Aerostar Div, Santa Maria CA Apr 1979.
An old gray-haired designer took his BMDM copy with him when Boeing laid-him-off in the early 1970s... and some-how he managed to get updated info through the lean/mean 1970s. He allowed me to copy his book [3-ring binder] so I would have professional insight into the working elements of an engineer, early in my career.... and so I wouldn't keep asking completely 'dumb-*ss questions' all the time! Learn by reading.
Hmmmm.... What a unique learning concept... and certainly waaaayyyy better than word-of-mouth and nagging everyone with basic questions that were well illustrated 'in-the-book'!!
Over the years I also accumulated other Boeing 'stuff': for instance, my data also includes a section on 'lessons-learned' [dos/don'ts for various structural components/configurations]; and another section on airframe metal component fabrication.
