Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
A small collection of old aircraft mechanic books/manuals. Some are from the now defunct Northrop school & some are from the Govt (CAM 18 etc). Already had the third edition of the Northrop books (1960s), now I also have the first (1940s) & second (1950s).

First of the six books showed up. This one looks like it was put on a bookshelf 74 years ago & forgotten about. The white stain on the cover wiped off with a damp cloth.
