Very early DeHavilland Instruction books

[Riley]

I have surplus to my known requirements the following original technical books issued by DH A/C Co in Sydney during the early thirties;

 

- Manual of Instruction for DH Dragon (type 84A). (dwgs dated 1932)

 

- Care & Maintenance for 130HP Gypsy Major Aero Engine. (dwgs dated 1933)

 

Both books are in complete excellent original order with no torn edges or greasy thumb prints. I'd be interested if anyone could give me an idea of collector's value and ultimately, suggest a proper recipient if donated to a preservation society. cheers

Australian National Aviation Museum at Moorabbin would be an option. Most of the other museums are military.

 

Probably not a huge value as most of these are available online or have been copied many times. Perhaps talk to Borg Sorensen at Tyabb or Dick Gower at Coldstream. Both have had a lot to do with old aeroplanes, and Gypsys in particular, for many years

Roy Fox may be interested in these to go with his planes...
