Model Airplane News 1942-49 Lot 19 WWII Aviation Magazines + Air Trails

$115 · Offered by eBay

Lot of 19 vintage aviation and model aircraft magazines dating from 1942 through 1949, including 18 issues of Model Airplane News and one issue of Air Trails Pictorial. The collection is especially strong in WWII-era issues with colourful illustrated covers featuring military aircraft including the Republic Thunderbolt, Spitfire, Messerschmitt, Avro Lancaster, Bell P-63 Kingcobra and Grumman F7F Tigercat. The magazines show considerable age and handling wear including spine wear, edge and corner wear, creasing, small tears, chipping, toning, some don't like completely flat and occasional writing or markings. Some issues are more worn than others. I leafed through each magazine and did not notice any missing pages or anything that would suggest the issues are incomplete. They were not checked page-by-page, so something minor could have been overlooked. These are close to 80 years old so they are lower grade copies and may have a mild old-paper or vintage magazine scent consistent with their age.
