Below is a list of books from my late father's collection. I would rather sell as bundles or ideally as a collection as I am not local to my mother's house. Not looking to get retail or wholesale, just something for them that sends them to a new home and provides some money for my mother. If no one is interested it may go to CAF or other area group. PB = paperback; HC = hardcover. I also have a ton of smaller publications like Aero Series, Bunrin-Do (Japanese?), Windsock Data Files, Aerofax Minigraph, Profile Publications, Squadron Publications, etc. on various common and rare aircraft types. Would love to get rid of in one group - too many to list. Let me know if there is any interest, or feedback indicating donation is the best option. Thanks!
