Curtiss Wright A-25 Helldiver manual

Fri Sep 07, 2007 6:45 pm

Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you could tell me how much a "Curtiss Wright Handbook of Operation and Maintenance for the AAF Model A-25 Airplane" might be worth. On the first page it says the manual is for an A-25A and that the manual is the first revision July 15, 1943. It is in very good condition and shows minimal wear. I picked it up last weekend for $30.00. I have a guy who is interested in it and I'm not sure what a manual like this would go for.

Thanks for any help, Kyle

you got a great deal!! & from a rare helldiver variant. i'd say at best you could get around 200 bucks or more. if it was a navy helldiver manual probably a little less, but being, an army version you've got a real plum!!!

Great find at a great price. Does the manual indicate that it was printed here in St. Louis? Some of the AAF Helldivers were built here in St. Louis at the Curtiss plant at Lambert Field. Can you post a few jpg scans?
Thanks,
