Offered here is a complete aviation archive belonging to WWII USAAF pilot and later aerospace engineer F. This grouping spans World War II through the 1960s and documents Morrison’s military service, postwar engineering career, and published aviation safety writing. WWII-era recommendation letters (1942). Original professional résumé detailing USAAF service and aerospace career. Postwar engineering positions with North American Aviation and Temco Aircraft. Assistant Professor of Aerospace Safety, University of Southern California. Membership in aviation safety and aeronautical organizations. Multiple original typed aviation manuscripts authored by Morrison. AOPA “Pilot” magazine editorial correspondence and publication acceptance letters. Original association and university lapel pins including AOPA and USC. Manuscripts include titles such as. Do You Have Tired Metal? “The Flight Effects of Ground Effect”. “That Last Fifteen Minutes”. “The Whole Ohio River to Aim At”. Several manuscripts retain editorial markings, original address headers, word counts, and publication notes. These are working submission copies – not later reprints. This archive represents a continuous aviation career from wartime pilot through aerospace engineering and aviation safety writing. All remain readable and historically intact. A substantial and well-documented aviation grouping with strong research and collector appeal. May delay a package. Please understand this is out of our control.

WWII Verys Flare Projector Survival. Verys MKIV flare projector and rounds. Projector is authentic and works as it should. All rounds have been made to look as if they are from life raft survival kits and the like. This has been done very well through the use of coin collecting tubes and surgical tape painted od green. It is not authentic packaging but it sure looks it. Made for display purposes, i’m sure. One round is obviously a fake. The other 3 look completely authentic and I have no reason to believe that they arent. They may well be fakes but if they are theyre the best Ive ever seen and if they could fake that well why isn’t the 4th done the same? My guess is theyre regular boxed or canned verys flares made up to look like they were the waterproofed kind from survival kits. Added a picture from a WWII survival reference book to show you what the real waterproofing looked like.
