Greetings:
I'm selling off a few aviation history books on eBay:
The first lot, up for sale at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150529454015&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1156, comprises 2 French books focusing on WW I aviation. "Les Freres Nieuport et Leurs Avions" is a comprehensive history of the Nieuport brothers and their aircraft. The book is 350 pages, 19 x 26 cm, softcover, with numerous b&w photos and drawings throughout, many previously unpublished. Originally published at 30 € or about $40. Lower right corner was dented during transit from France, but book is otherwise in great condition. For a review of this book, please visit http://www.aerostories.org/~aerobiblio/article729.html?var_recherche=freres. The second book, "le Grand Essor de l'Hydraviation 1913-1934," is a comprehensive history of the flying boats produced by FBA—Franco-British Aviation. The book is 436 pages, 16 x 24 cm, softcover, with numerous b&w photos and drawings throughout, many previously unpublished, along with a section in color. Originally published at 20 € or about $27. This book is in excellent "like new" condition. For a review of this book, please visit http://www.aerostories.org/~aerobiblio/article2998.html?var_recherche=essor. $67 worth of books for a low starting bid of only $9.95! If you are a modeler of WW I aircraft and/or a collector of Windsock Datafiles, this will make an excellent addition to your collection!
The second auction, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150529456341&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1156 is for "TATAKAU UMIWASI" (Fighting Sea-Eagles - Japanese Naval Air Force in Action). The author is Watanabe Yoji. The book is 192 pages, contains ~400 b/w photos, is 18 x 26 cm in size, published by Bungei Shunju in March 2005, and is a soft cover with dust jacket. "Fighting Sea-Eagles" is an excellent book with MANY never seen before photos of IJN airplanes. FANTASTIC collection of floatplane photos. Three Reikan scratching the tops of palm trees at Penang; one showing a Seiran taking off; and a rare shot of the He 112, among many others. This is not to be missed. Format is similar to books published by Model Art, Gakken, etc. More details can be found on the HLJ site at http://www.hlj.com/product/BNG66730. Like new book in great condition. Originally priced at ~$37.00, the book is available at a very low starting bid of only $9.95!
