I am cleaning off my shelves and would rather see these books, newsletters and classic magazines go to fellow aviation enthusiasts. If interested in any of these, please reply to me directly so as not to clog up the group. All prices are exclusive of shipping—I will add the actual cost via USPS to wherever you are in the world. Photos are available at cluttonfred.info, where I will also update the listing as books are sold.
