Vintage 30's- 40's-50's Aviation Publications

Post by Axis Nightmare » Fri Nov 28, 2014 9:35 am

A gentleman had a large lot of magazines and advertised them on Craigslist and when I saw the pictures of just a few of the issues I immediately gave him $20 for the lot. What a gold mine cache it turned out to be. Got over 100 dating from pre-war 30's up through Korea. Odd that the ad had been posted for nearly a month before I found it. Had no one answered his ad soon, he said he was going to pitch them!!

Here's some pictures of a few of them.Image

As someone who collects a lot of those type of magazines along with LIFE and YANKs, AWESOME find! You scored on that one! Looks like some really awesome things and a super great price to boot!

It will take weeks to go through them all. Great photos and great advertisements so far :!:
