VERY SPECIAL PRICE! This is an edited second volume of this World War 1 technical manual, covering the assembly and rigging of a selection of aircraft. Like Volume One (see the Aero Engines section of this list) the original was issued by 'Controller Technical Department' and bears the insignia of both the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Navy Air Service. For each aircraft, there is a text section covering the setting up (assembly, maintenance or repair of the fuselage) and then rigging instructions. 20 aircraft are covered in the original, but due to its the nature, many have "illustrations in course of preparation" or do not have the full set, and are not reprinted here. The aircraft which are included are: Bristol Fighter F.2.B. (11 text pages & 19 pages of illustrations, a few relating to the F.2.A.), De Haviland No. 5 (7 text pages & 11 pages of illustrations), Maurice Farman "Shorthorn" (7 text pages & 7 pages of illustrations), Sopwith Biplane F.1. ("Camel') (8 text pages & 7 pages of illustrations), Spad Biplane, Type S. VII (10 text pages & 12 pages of illustrations). With the "Shorthorn" dating from 1914 and the "Camel" and Spad being active in 1918, you get a very good indication of the rapid technical development which took place in a short time. If you are an aviation enthusiast, model builder or historian this really is a book you should have in your library. 99 pages. 56 pages of illustrations. A5 format paperback. Camden.
