One of the rarer and sought after tchnical  manuals, TM 1-413, Technical Manual – Aircraft Instruments , dated 2 February 1942. Good overall condition, all pages are present, light creasing and discoloration in places. Handwritten on the front is the name Leslie Schoenhart.
A nice period item, a little tatty around the edges, fair condition for age, no glow under a blacklight. Evidence of being uniform removed. Priced according to condition.
An interesting booklet, 32 pages, but measuring just 49mm high by 35mm wide. Period item, other examples seen are dated 1940, in any event likely published soon after the Norwegian campaign and certainly during the war given the images of the Fuhrer in the book.
