While at Dayton and the USAF Museum, we took the opportunity to buy some of the RRHT books in the Museum bookshop. They were generally $14.95 each and we get membership discount of 20% on top of that.
The book on Roy Fedden by Bill Gunston was first, previously published commercially as 'By Jupiter" but now out of print. The RRHT version is called simply "Fedden". This one was $19.95 BTW.
"The Merlin 100 Series" was the second, $14.95.
"Boxkite to Jet", the story of Frank B Halford was the third one we bought, $19.95, and lastly we bought a reprint of the Stanley Hooker/Harry Reed/Alan Yarker publication "The Performance of a Supercharged Aero Engine", $9.95.
Two seriously nice books on the B29 and B36 had to be left behind, both of which were too heavy to be incorporated into our dwindling luggage space. In fact we eneded up buying another suitcase on the Saturday as we did indeed run out of space!
The membership discount on what we eventually staggered up to the cash desk with was effectively the same as our membership fee, so reasonably cost-effective.
The museum has no admission or car parking charges and is located south of Dayton, Ohio at Wright Patterson AFB.
