Procedure Handbook for Aircraft Stress Analysis.
Perfect scanned copy. 351 pages scanned as High resolution TIF images and then digitally cleaned page by page. This extremely detailed handbook written by Willis Nye, Dale Hamilton and James Eames details the Stress analysis of aircraft components and materials. Unlike my other manuals this a private publication (long past its copyright period). Packed with invaluable data including very detailed graphs and tabulated data. (See detailed Contents and Tables List below). Manual printed in 1940 by Aviation Press San Francisco, California. Also included on the CD is an PDF version of the handbook for easy browsing (Adobe Reader 7.0 supplied on the CD). Comes in a nicely printed Jewel case. See my other auctions for more vintage aircraft and engine manuals.
