Corrigan bought a well used OX5 powered Curtiss Robin for $325 in 1933; he later installed a used Wright J6-5 engine in 1935, put new wheels on the ship, recovered it, installed some large fuel tanks and repaired some tail damage - so, in 1935 he was planning his attempt to fly from Newfoundland to Ireland.

The Robin's semi-cantilever wing framework was built up of solid spruce spar beams and stamped-out Alclad aluminum alloy wing ribs and fabric covered; this wing structure was used on all the Robins, from the "B" on. However, deficiencies in the rib structural properties presented a problem which was repaired on many Robins by adding wood rib structure to the aluminum rib stamping. The Robin rib being offered was removed from a Curtiss Robin that is being restored; photos of the rib are shown below. The rib is in "as removed" condition so shows some disassembly "trauma." This rib makes an excellent display of a 1930s aircraft part - it measures 65 3/8" overall chordwise.

The combination of the signed Douglas Corrigan first edition book from 1938 and the Curtiss Robin wing rib is available for $115.00. Shipping will be problematic however as an oversize shipping container will have to be used. Contact CollectAir for a quote on shipping which will be dependent upon location.

An interesting, undated model airplane plan from Sturdi-Built Model Aircraft, Portland, Oregon. Corrigan's Curtiss Robin is accurately drawn, including the notation of a Wright J6-5 engine. Note the sidebar which states, "Smallest power plant ever to span the ocean." If you would like a copy of the small plan, send a SASE to CollectAir. How many other Corrigan Robins came out in model kit form - any?

Story of two books. The first book, The Tibbets Story, was published in 1978 and the authorship was credited to Paul W. Tibbets with Clair Stebbins and Harry Franken. In the Introduction, written by Clair C. Stebbins, it is noted that General Tibbets had resisted writing his own story about the historic Hiroshima mission although there were a number of articles about the development and dropping of the first nuclear bomb, including the book Enola Gay, and interviews with Tibbets. Stebbins signs the Introduction with, " - by Clair C. Stebbins who, with Harry Franken, persuaded Mr. Tibbets to tell the story of his eventful life, and collaborated in the writing of this book."

The 1998 book, Return of the Enola Gay, published 20 years later, is credited to Paul W. Tibbets. In the Acknowledgments, Tibbets credits his good friend Gerry Newhouse with persistent encouragement during the rewriting of Flight of the Enola Gay; this book is a 1989 softcover edition. The 1998 book does not mention the original autobiography published in 1978 nor does it give any credit to the co-authors Stebbins and Franken. Chapter One, Stange Destiny, begins, in 1978, with, "From the pilot's seat of my airplane, I saw the city shimmering 6 miles below in the bright sunlight of an August morning." The 1998 book begins exactly the same. The last sentence of the last Chapter 40, "Reflections," of the 1978 book ends exactly as the end of Chapter 42 in the 1998 book. I mention this because it is sort of odd that the co-authors from 1978 are totally aced out of any credit - bad contract I guess.

The two books are offered here along with a Paul Tibbets signed envelope. Additional info on the envelope may be obtained by clicking here.

The Tibbets Story, hard cover published in 1978, is in fine condition with bright cover boards and is unmarked. The dust jacket has some edge crinkling and rubbing.

The Return of the Enola Gay, published in hardcover in 1998, is now out of print. This limited edition copy is in mint condition, dust jacket and book are perfect. A signed page carries the original signatures of Paul Tibbets, Pilot, Tom Ferebee, Bombardier, Dutch Van Kirk, Navigator and R.H. Nelson, Radio Operator. The book is a limited edition copy number 135 of 1500 signed. Also included with this copy is a color photo of Dutch Van Kirk as he signs some memorabilia of the flight.

A memorable collection which may be prchased for $500.00.

This is an EAA Aviation Foundation reprint of the 1932 Flying and Glider Manual, which, in the words of Paul Poberenzy, ". . .was a great inspiration for many of us and in our opinion caused many of the leaders in aviation today to get 'their start.'" This reprint was published in 1989 - the manuals were originally published from 1929 to 1933 by Modern Mechanix and Inventions, a Fawcett magazine.

This soft cover publication measures 8 ½ x 11 inches and has 72 pages, all with photos and drawings. Learn how to build a Pietenpol "Air Camper", a Powell "P-H" Racer and several others, with all details covered. Excellent condition for only $7.50.

This delightful mechanical drawing book was published in 1943 with a copyright of 1941. The preface to the book states, in part, "The purpose of this text is to make possible the introduction of an elementary study of the structure of an airplane through the mechanical drawing courses." Measuring 8 ¾ x 11 ¼ inches, the hard cover text contains 64 pages, all in bright white, as new condition. The last page has a well drawn plan of a wooden propeller, with cross sections. Slight scuffing of corners, otherwise in outstanding condition - obviously never used as a classroom text. Photo of sample pages below.

The author, J.W. Giachino, M.A., was an instructor at Western State Teachers College in Kalamazoo; H.A. Sonsmith, B.S., taught drawing in a Hamtramck, Michigan high school. This book is sure to please anyone who got their start in aviation through youthful interests - also, the book is still a good text for airplane structures for the initiate into aviation. Own this book for only $32.50.
