I'm thinning out my library and have two special aviation books that need a good home.
(1) "Airmans' Song Book" edited by G.H. Ward-Jackson and L. Lucas. 265 pages published in 1967. Contains "Songs before the first world war"; "Songs from 1914 to the armistice in 1918"; "Songs of the peace years 1918~1339" ; "Songs of the second world war; "Songs of the parachute regiment"; "Songs of the post war years 1945~1967".
Some songs have their own music pages and others mention the tune or ditty they are sung too. Total 200 songs. Hard cover, well printed on good paper, dust cover a little worn.
(2) "Instructor's Handbook of Elementary Flying Training". This is the famous WW2 1732A prepared by the RAF for the Emprie Central Flying Training School and used in UK, Canada, Rhodesia, Australia, New Zealand etc. 3rd edition 1943. Hardbound unmarked in excellent condition, 155 pages. It is the manual that taught wartime instructors how to instruct. A real gem.
If interested send me a PM and we will take it from there.
Regards
