Aircraft recognition handbook

  Author(s): various  Title:       The Inter-Services Journal on  Aircraft Recognition, Volumes I, II, III   ISBN: none  Publisher/place: Ministry of Aircraft Production (UK)  Year of Publication: 1942 - 1945   Binding: hardcover (large format)  Dustjacket: none  Weight: 2510g  Notes/Condition:    This is a collection of monthly journals which have been bound together.  The first is dated September 1942 and the last September 1945.  The last couple of journals are marked as "Restricted".   Binding used is a hardback with cloth cover.   The cloths have some wear around the edges, and at the head and tail of the spine.  On the front, at the bottom right corner, there seems to be some water damage, though this has not gone through to the front end-page.  An ex-libris plate of the previous owner is on the front end-page.  Binding is intact and sound; no loose pages.   Many of these journals seem to have been folded in four, before binding.  It would not have been possible to fold them this way after binding. Most of the individual journals have the inscription "A.M Campbell, MASTER COPY" on the front cover (the ex-libris plate is for "K.B. Newman incidentally).   Please see pictures, as these form part of the description.
