Don't Miss This Book...!!
Indispensable reference for early and classic Piper Cub family of light aircraft and some later and larger progeny.... From precise rigging procedures or how to apply butyrate dope on cloth fabric surfaces, to engine stuff, to everything and anything an aircraft owner/mechanic would need for unique and obscure repairs and upgrades.... from the estate bookshelf of a Piper J-3 owner and pilot.....
This veteran first enlisted in the US Navy in 1952 and he quickly became an AT3, or Aircraft Technician 3. His first shipboard assignment was on the USS Badoeng Strait - CVE-116. He later served on the USS Bon Homme Richard - CVA-31 possibly during some nuclear tests at Eniwetok in the mid 1950s. At some point in the late 1950s he obtained an officer's commission and became a navigator and then pilot. I am fairly certain he served in some flying capacity in SEA for the Navy - not sure what he was flying then. At around the same time he went through Navy SERE training and may have been with the SERE training unit later on (late 1960s - early 1970s?) for a while (hence the coffee cup and utility cover/hat I have listed in a separate listing).
He flew EC-130Gs for the Navy to support secure communications with Polaris equipped SLBM submarines.
He continued to fly EC-130s in the early days of TACAMO and Silk Purse - possibly later flew the E-6A when it took over for the EC-130G/Qs.
He retired as a Commander (silver oak leaf - Navy) and was said to have served at least 30 years..!!
- that is all I was able to learn.
He may also have flown or at least worked for American Airlines in some capacity after his military career. He absolutely loved to fly, period
, and at one time owned a Piper J-3 and possibly other light aircraft, maybe a Piper Cherokee Warrior. He lived at a small air park (small airport with housing subdivision) and his home was complete with a large hangar. He could drive his Piper J-3 to the runway a couple blocks from his home - heaven for a pilot!

eBay's fees are very expensive and you can help me keep costs down  by giving top numbers in detailed seller ratings (DSRs). If you feel there is a problem just let me know before you leave feedback so I have a chance to resolve any issue. NM sales tax will be charged to New Mexico residents only.
I will gladly combine on the shipping but please WAIT to pay so I can easily combine your shipping total. I will happily sell overseas, but I insist (as does eBay) on shipping with a tracking number of some sort via priority or express
.
I will not declare a lower amount on the customs form. So please do not ask me to do so!
I
will
not
be responsible for thefts on overseas purchases, especially if the item's tracking shows it entered the customs process in the destination country!
I welcome buyers from all over the world. Thank you for looking!
