Hi,

 

I was very happy to pick up this well worn Grumman Avenger Pilot´s handbook for the TBF-1 & TBM-1 torpedo bomber, it goes well with my Dauntless dive bomber and Wildcat fighter pilot´s handbooks, these handbooks were kept in a box in the cockpit........ now I just need an F6F Hellcat handbook.

Don't forget to Curtiss SB2C Helldiver.

Interesting manuals. 

Due to my budget I´m only sticking to absolute favourites ;)

Nice Helldiver find, you must have made someone´s day!

 

I´m a big fan of the Dauntless, just a lovely shape, I think it was my first plastic model aircraft kit around 55 years ago!

I really like the Helldiver, found & sold lower cowling last year for a healthy profit.

Nice handbook, they are rare! Congrats!

Thanks Jerry,

my budget gets in the way a bit, I nearly bought a Kingfisher pilot´s handbook a couple of weeks ago but it was $175 and just couldn´t justify it.

Here´s my 3 WW2 handbooks.....

These books are pricey from what I noticed. 175 is not bad anyway. 

 

Great collection! 

 

Would be nice to have a F6F handbook for my display :)

 

Take care,

Jerry

Love the Dauntless and Wildcat manuals! I collect pilot’s manuals and it is so much harder to find anything for the USN carrier planes vs the USAAF planes. I’ve got one from almost every major USAAF plane and a number of the USN multi-engines, but only these for the carrier planes:

I offered a nice 1940 Kingfisher pilot´s handbook by a member here, it arrived a few days ago, the Kingfisher is one of my favorite  naval aircraft, they look great on floats, but they look a bit odd when land based!
