Description: Up for auction is an original 1944 North American Aviation P-51B & P-51C Flight Manual. Report No. NA-5740. Scarce, if not rare, the manual is in very good condition considering its age. The clear plastic cover page has shrunk with age and has pulled away from the binding. The title page was stamped by RAY ABBEY TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE NORTH AMERICAN AVIATION. I've seen three others and none with this stamp. The manual has 8 sections. 1. Description, 2. Pilot's Operating Instructions. 3. Special Operational Equipment, 4. Emergency Operating Instructions, 5. Long Range Equipment, 6. Servicing & Preflight Inspection, 7. Charts and 8. Index & Glossary. The manual measures 8 1/4 inches tall, 6 1/4 inches wide and about 1 inch thick. I did not find any writing or scribbles. In 2012, a very nice copy sold for 1500 and in August of this year, one sold for 775 missing the charts. My manual is complete. This is a piece of WWII aviation history. This will be shipped insured and come with signature tracking. Thank you. Sales Tax collected by eBay. What you see is what you'll get. Feel Free To Ask Questions.
