Historical Aircraft Covering Book With Lots Of Hints And Tips on 2040-parts.com
Earlysville, Virginia, US
Blue Swallow Aircraft, LLC and This Old Airplane have produced a 275+ page book on historical aircraft covering techniques. This book is compiled from a dozen, hard to find aviation books, beginning in 1914, through 1939. We provide the reader with numerous details and useful pictures that accurately show the original covering techiniques. You will see how aircraft were covered using Irish linen, cotton, and dope, prior to WW II. You would have to spend hundreds of dollars to collect all these books in one place. This volume is commercially reproduced and spine bound in a single collection. It is a reproduction of the original material. NOT the original books!
Please read carefully as one poor soul was terribly confused and thought he was buying "the original materials" and then complained and left negative feedback when it was not "the original pages". Selling the original pages would be impossible, seeing that we have had to gather this material from the archives of numerous aviation museums the world over. But there are all kinds of people out there, so we have to explain everything in fine detail for fear of being flammed on Ebay now.
