Hi
For 40 years I've been a fan of the Putnam aeronautical series, ever since I found "US Military Aircraft Since 1909"...arguably the best book on American aircraft ever printed.

I'd like a copy of "Vickers Aircraft..." and AVRO Aircraft.
Anybody have one they like to sell?

Or I can trade 1st editions of Putnam's "McDonald Douglas Aircraft" (the rare single volumn book) and "Lockheed Aircraft".

I also have a very rare second edition of US MIlitary Aircraft (1972) that I'd be willing to part with along with a 1968 edition od "US Naval Aircraft".

Thanks

John, have you come across http://www.abebooks.com yet? Lots of Putnam titles there.

Cheers, Rob

Condiderably less than there were a couple of weeks ago though, eh Rob?

Yes, I've often looked there, however I was hoping to deal with a US-based WIE-er directly and avoid the international money-order hassle....and I do dislike giving my credit card number out over the internet.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Have you seen this site? They look like they are pre-read but that may be the only way to get some of these books. http://www.aeroplanebooks.com/seriesPutnam.htm

Found these Putnam books today:

Aeroplanes of the RFC (Military Wing)
by J.M Bruce

Aircraft of the RAF since 1918
by Owen Thetford

British Aviation: The Great War and Armistice
by Harald Penrose

British Naval Aircraft since 1912
by Owen Thetford

Japansese Aircraft 1910 - 1941
by Robert Mikesh & Shorzoe Abe

All are priced at US$20, with the exception of the Japanese Aircraft book, which is $35.00

All are in great shape. I did not buy any, but if someone is interested, I can buy them for you, and mail them (you of course, pay for the mailing expenses and the books, I'll just do you the favor of purchasing the books).


Saludos,
