ITALIAN CIVIL AND MILITARY AIRCRAFT 1930 - 1945 Thompson HC 1st Ed WW2 Reference
This listing is for the hardcover book
Italian Civil and Military Aircraft 1930 - 1945
by Jonathan Thompson. If you are a WWII buff, an aviation history fan or a builder of model airplanes, this book belongs in your library.
This book covers the planes of the Regia Aeronautica, experimental types, airliners, private planes plus data on obsolete planes. Each plane's history, construction, specs, use, armament, camouflage, markings and more are covered. There is at least one photo and usually more of each aircraft plus technical type drawings. The book is 304 pages and I'm going to guess it covers over 260 aircraft. Please see the photos for more detail as they are part of the description.
I've flipped through the book several times and haven't seen any marks, writing, creases, dirt or tears. The binding and pages are tight. The dust jacket is a bit beat up and dirty along the edges but the cover is in great condition. I believe this is a First Edition published in 1963 by Aero Publishers of Los Angeles.
Shipping for this book will be boxed Media Rate Mail or Parcel Select Mail (your choice) within the lower 48. International shipping via Ebay's International Standard Delivery.
TERMS
(PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS):
Payment:
All you should have to do at the end of an auction is click "Pay Now". There is no need to ask for an invoice or wait for one. I will send an invoice if you request one but my first priority will be to mail the items I have been paid for.
Shipping (PLEASE DO READ)
:
ANY requests for special packaging, handling, etc. MUST be transmitted through EBAY (not regular email) to the seller within 12 hours of the end of the auction.
Sellers are pretty much forced to follow Ebay policies for shipping. That means the
package must have tracking.
In over 17 years on Ebay I have never tried to make money on shipping.
Please bear in mind that the estimated postage includes a slight bump to cover Ebay fees which are charged on postage and other postal services (Insurance or Signature Delivery Confirmation for items expected to go over 0, etc) and to help cover the costs of all those petroleum based packing materials (peanuts, bubble wrap, etc). Many items are also insured in case of loss/damage. If a package was insured through Ebay's ShipCover, that will not appear on the postage label or in the postage amount.
On heavier or oversize items, I may ship via FEDEX GROUND to try to save you money and/or delivery time.
Similarly, if I can combine shipping for you I will, and will refund any significant savings. Please note that I will not combine items if their size or nature makes it impractical, more expensive or dangerous (I won't ship a lead weight and a porcelain vase together).
International Shipping:
International buyer's are responsible for their country's import duty or tariffs. International payments may require additional postage to include a tracking number or signature receipt.
Sellers are pretty much forced to follow Ebay guidelines for shipping, which means there must be a tracking number used. For International shipping that means Priority Mail, Express Mail or Registered Mail. Frankly, I hate seeing buyers spend that kind of money on postage, but I have little choice but to protect myself by following the guidelines.
ETC:
The items I sell come from various collections and estates. Generally these items have been used or stored. I have no way of knowing whether the previous owner ever smoked, had pets, stored peanuts, or ever had a musty basement, etc. I do at least a cursory cleaning of the items I sell and will do my best to remove dirt, display dust, odors etc, but I CAN NOT be responsible for things like dust in tight
corners, odors I didn't detect, or some mark buried in the middle of a book. You're not paying for my time on an hourly basis and you're certainly not paying professional conservator/restoration rates so please be reasonable. I try to be as factual as I can when describing an item.
I don't claim to be an expert or collector of the things I sell. I sell a wide variety of items and may not know that a light is supposed to go on when a certain button is pushed or that an item is supposed to have 6 pieces instead of 5, or if an item came with a specific sticker/decal on it. I try very hard to describe things as best as I can and provide good photographs. Please look at the photos, if you don't see something ask me, don't assume that it is there. Please don't expect me to be able to answer your more technical or historical questions. If you can put it in words I understand or tell me where to look, I'll do my best to answer your question.
