Ive got a first addition copy of Aircraft Welding by L.S. Elzea
Book is in pretty darned good condition, no noticible tears, no stains the cover and its gold (gilt) printing is in excellent shape. Id rate it, if it were a gun..about 98%
Book is filled with text and photographs of the actual how to do..of welding aircraft frames and similar assemblies together. And how to design and layout such assemblies. I believe this was printed for the war effort as a master welding guide in ....the Introduction is from Chris Beech, and the next page is a request from the Boeing company for such a book in the war effort.
Anyone have any interest in this? Ill give you a 3 day inspection if you would like.
I also have 21+ absolutely MINT volumes of a matched series of books on Aircraft mechanics, pneudraulics, drafting, Aerodymanics and Flight etc etc by the " International Library, International Textbook Company, Scranton PA
According to Wiki...they were correspondence course books.
The books in The International Library of Technology were published by I.T.C. These books were bound volumes of the course materials for the more than 240 courses offered. These books were used and made available in at least 184 Colleges (Including The U.S. Military Academy at West Point and Cornell University) and at least 649 Public Libraries.[4]
Absolutely mint..brand new condition. From my private collection.

One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not agree that "violence begets violence." I told him that it is my earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure
- and in some cases I have - that any man who offers violence to his fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.

Along these same lines (but probably not as specialized as the above) the FAA has a bunch of free publications generally related to methods techniques, materials & practices... lots of great material buried in here. Most (if not all) in pdf format.

Far as advisory circulars (ACs) go, I suspect the most interest here might be in parts 43 (AC43.13-2B is a really good one), and part 65 (AC65-12A & AC65-15A in particular), but be sure to look through them all!
I've been having issues 'deep linking' to pages on the FAA's site... if you have issues, go to:

And do searches on both 'aircraft handbooks & manuals' and 'advisory circulars', both sans quotes.
Also, NASA has some great stuff as well. This one on wiring, soldering, crimping, cable lacing and related is excellent!

NASA has much more, but I don't know where it all is off the top of my head... shouldn't be hard to find by wading through their site for a while.
Take advantage of this material... you've already paid handsomely for it!
If you give me an offer I like..Ill ship em book rate. If you dont like em..you ship em back. We are both out bookrate one way.
You will have a week to pay for them after you receive them, or send them back. But I do expect an offer before sending them. I like you..but I dont know you.
Id suggest you review the titles and the prices of the books as found on the internet before making me an offer.
Id be more than happy to post an entire listing of the ILT books that I have and provide some clear photographs. They are Mint++
My technical bookcase is 8' tall..and 8' wide ..and its overflowing with books I have little or no need for.
Such as "Injection Moulding Handbook: Rusred"...and the World of Model Trains, Guy R. Williams...and just about everything in between...."How To Restore Your Collector Car, Brownell" or Clymers Ford Mustang and Mercury Capri 1979-1987"...also mint+
Some of my books Id probably sell in other venues...such as the Steam Fitters Book, 1872. Shrug
Some..are very collectable or rare. Others...simply reference books.
Such as a very small, paperback sized hard cover "They Oxy-Acetylene Welders Handbook, Craftsman Tools, 4th Edition (1948)...mint +
Or The Fundementals of Dimensional Metrology, Bush Wilkie Brothers Foundation, Second Edition (my second copy) Mint++ soft bound
Some you can download...like the above Fundimentals

Others..shrug
Surveying, Davis and Foot, Third Edition, 1940 edition, Excellent +

Lots and lots of books . Ive been yard saleing, hitting swap meets and 2nd hand stores for years and finding a book here and there. Ive bought collections, sold some, kept some..the usual. Some of my clients have cleaned out their libraries and I wound up with them. etc etc. Not a lot of call for Turret Lathe books anymore..except for the hobby guy or someone who wants to fill a book shelf....shrug.
Ive got 2 mint copies (with dust covers)...of the "Colt, an American Legend, RL Wilson". I only need one.

I had 2 mint and one excellent copy of Ed McGivern's Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting" and traded the 2 mint 1st editions for a sporterized Norwegian Krag -Jorgenson in 6.5 Swede , a few years ago. We both got a good deal. Shrug.
Hell..I picked up a copy of Clymers "Imported Car Carberators" at an estate sale a couple months ago. Cover is rough, rest of the book is in Very good condition, has notes stuck in various pages from the previous owner (dead 25 yrs)..bought it from the widows estate.
Excellent condition on Ebay..$112. Id take best offer over $20 for it because of the cover.

Anyone need a complete set of Hardinge Factory Manuals for Hardinge CHNC II? Got a set in decent shape. Good set of manuals for a swap or cash.. That would be $200-500 on ebay. Swap for??
Hanwa SL125 (Oi) Users Manual (CNC)
Lots of books...lots of stuff I really have no need for. Some cheap, some reasonable. A few...pricey.
Cash is king, swap and trade come in a very close second place.
If there is no interest..maybe Ill get the roommate to do a listing of all my tech books and start selling them on Ebay or someplace. Got way way too many Im never going to ever use. And Ive got another couple thousand still in boxes Ive not even looked at in 5 yrs or more.
I only have NRA Firearms Assembly 3 &4. Id like to have the full set, as a single example of swapping books for books or other Stuff.

They can teach you the techniques. But not the plane itself.

How much are they worth..and how much are they worth to you?
Anybody have an idea?
I can perhaps make you a better deal than somone else for your organization. But with the US economy in the toilet..it cant be free.

These as Ive stated..are Mint. No bullshit. 7 days inspection allowed Seriously.
I may..may have some other manuals, info sheets and whatnot from various aircraft/models/ manufactures as well, but they are out in sealed storage and it will be a week to find them if I spent 8 hours a day looking. As I start clearing some of those containers and boxes...Ill post them here first.
Which reminds me...rummaging through a drawer....

it was the unused spare of a gentleman who passed away some years back WW 2 B-17 pilot turned oilfield executive who flew his Beech 24 regularly all over north america until just before his death some
10-15 or so years ago.
Worth $30 to anyone? Do I have a starting bid? Do I hear $20?
I dont have much else aircraft related. It has not a very big interest of mine..way above my paygrade...so I never bothered much with books and whatnot. Only picked up stuff I could use. The 20 odd airplane related books came as part of an estate sale and the flight computer as part of another estate sale. I bought a lot of books and tools from those 2 sales.

Gunner on Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:01:43 -0700 typed in rec.crafts.metalworking the following:
You got anything on GD&T? (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance) It explains all the weird little symbols on "modern" blueprints, which if followed, give you good parts.
Friend of mine drew up a part with them, and while it looks like it can't be made - everything was "in spec." He has a talent ... I'm not sure what it is, but he's got a talent.
Ill check, but isnt that something easy to find on Google?

I happened to have that link to the China Clipper painting open after sending it to someone else as an example of how quickly elegant flying boats developed from this engineering prototype:

Builder Igor Sikorsky and pilot Charles Lindbergh sketched out this redesign during its long maiden flight:
Lindbergh had an eye for airplanes. Other than having the huge gas tank at the center of gravity where the pilot usually sits, the 1927 Spirit of St Louis looks like the Cessnas flying around today rather than a 1920's biplane.
