RAF_Louvert 101 Posted March 8, 2010 . Good Morning All, I nabbed another book bargain this weekend and can't wait for it to arrive in the mail. It is a beautiful example of the 1918 version of the "Manual Of Rigging Notes", originally issued by the U.S. Air Service in the final year of WWI. Here are a few pics of the item, (I apologize for the graininess of the images, I copied them at a lower quality to keep the file size smaller): This may be a reprint, but if it is it appears to be an exceptional one and is assembled just like the original using a pair of large brass rivets to bind the book together. It is about 180 pages with 25 or so pull-out diagrams plus many other tech drawings, and of course full rigging and maintenance notes for the three aircraft listed in the index. The last one of these I came across in the marketplace was a rather beat-up original that sold for $190. I purchased this one from a gentleman in Wisconsin for $48, which is a great deal, even for a reprint. Me so happy! Lou . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
