Thanks chaps - it's a great set of volumes (ten in all), well worth having, if a tad expensive at £25 each (£20 if ordered on-line when first published).
A delicious book with tons of photos. Wanna see the piston engine installation? Got it! Wanna see what was behind the cockpit on the XB-35? It's there! What did the inside of the bomb bay look like? Take a peek! Extensive coverage of the YRB-49 as well! A definite keeper and not expensive. So come and get your wing on brothers! Amen hallelujah! Can I get a "Northrop" from the congregation?!?!?

Sweet mate! 
Picked this up from Book Depository for 15 USD and they took 20% off because the corner was dinged. Nice book about one of my favorite airplanes. Was surprised to read in the conclusion that it was considered by the author as a failure. Guess it bucked the looks right, flies right axiom.

Nice scores Jim!
Mine, from various charity shops, 2nd hand book stores and car boot sales.
The book on airbrushing is a historical gem! Printed by airbrush makers Volspray in 1945, it shows (then) current applications, including:
Spraying a DH 89 Dragon Rapide:
Spraying Lancaster or Lincoln elevators:
Spraying Lancaster or Lincoln bomb bay doors:
And last, but not least, spraying brand new Sunderlands:

Nice haul Evan - apart from 'The Spitfire Log' !
I obtained a copy a few years back, and only keep it for the amusement factor !
It's possibly one of the worst, most inaccurate and vague books I've ever seen on the subject - photo of a 242 Sqn Hurricane, with Bader and co, described as a Spitfire for example!
Read it, laugh, curse - then give it away !!!

Yeah, definitely not the best Terry! I bought it for some of the photographs, worth the 50 cents I paid for it! 
Interesting the pilots' stories though...if they are accurate?
