About This Item
Chicago: The Phillip Andrews Publishing Co., 1943. First Edition . Photo-illustrated Wraps. Very Good Plus. 11 1/8" x 7 7/8. From Photographs and Drawings. Chicago: The Phillip Andrews Publishing Co., 1943. First Edition. Dec 1943-Jan 1944 issue. Volume 3 No. 6. Photo-illustrated wraps, 11 1/8" x 7 7/8". 70 pp. Center crease, small fold at bottom right corner of cover, some rubbing, complete spine with only trace damage at staples. Bright & clean, a Very Good Plus copy. See scans. Air Tech focused on one aircraft in each issue (although not to the exclusion of all others), and in this case the subject was the legendary P-47 Thunderbolt, the big, brawny fighter/ground attack aircraft which contributed so heavily to the shortening of the war in Europe. A flight of four 'bolts graces the cover (see scan), and M.A. Bugnon's lead article on the plane extends from page 21 to page 35, with text, photos, and plenty of schematics. See scan of contents page for other articles, which include: Gyro Flux Gate Compass (J. Paul Andrews); Maintaining Military Radio Equipment (Lt. Thomas Friedman, USAAF); Measurement of Angles (C.V. Newsom and H.D. Larsen); Ball Bearing Control Care (E.B. Sherburne); and Instrument Cutaways (staff). Also, regular feature departments, and, as one might expect, several nice, collectible ads with illustrations showing aircraft, including the Bell Airacobra, the Piper Cub in military togs, and of course the P-47 itself, along with ads for a wide variety of aircraft needs and accessories of the era. Nice piece of aviation history, in better than very good shape. Please see scans. LMILIT
