The Wright-Martin Hispano-Suiza Model A, I & E Engine Instruction Manual 1918 series 7A is a valuable collectible for aviation enthusiasts interested in early aircraft. Published by Wright-Martin Aircraft Corp in 1918, this hardcover (leather?) manual is illustrated and provides detailed instructions for operating and maintaining the Hispano-Suiza engines used in various aeroplanes. With its original print year and unique content, this manual offers a glimpse into the history and technology of early aviation.
Nice clean copy, some foxing. I found 1 page that has a slight tear (please see photos). 3 very thick diagrams in the back of the book and 1 tucked into the back little pocket. I do NOT know if this is complete as is, so please ask questions. Thank you.

For Sale: WWI, Early Aeronautics Collection.
I have recently been given the task of selling my friend’s WWI collection. She inherited it from her father, and he from his father many years ago, but she was overwhelmed by the emotional and daunting task and recently asked me to help her out. I have been a member of for 20 + years and am a trusted seller.
The collection is large and consists mainly of rare early aeronautics books, manuals, catalogues, etc., and an extensive collection (over 5,000+) black and white or sepia WWI photographs. The photos consist of aeroplanes, crashes, soldiers, etc., that have been painstakingly catalogued and identified by her father with notes. Most photographs are stamped on the reverse ( Not for reproduction via a copyright from one company or another). I have not examined and catalogued all the crates, but my dining room table is full of rare first editions, and I need to start listing some items. I am not at liberty to donate anything, so I will post several items each day on and hope that it reaches a large audience. I do ship worldwide, and I mention this because some items are written in French, German, Etc. Like all my items, this comes from a smoke-free, clean, and very happy home. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have. I carefully inspect and wrap each item with care and hand-deliver packages to my local post office daily. I am always happy to combine shipping. I try my best to upgrade shipping when I can.
Thank you for looking, and happy shopping!
