Tee Emm (Vols.I, Nos. 2&3)

Second and third issues of the RAF's WW2 Training Manual - with an interesting provenance. Numbers 2 and 3, from 1941 were the personal copies of A.O.C of RAF 71 Group, Paul Maltby, who spent three years as a PoW of the Japanese and after the war, was Knighted and became Parliament's Sergeant-at Arms, Black Rod. The 28pp magazines, issued in May and June 1941,  were never on sale and covered wartime training matters in a light-hearted fashion with cartoons involving Pilot Officer Prune. Blue covers with cream. Covers have separated and become detached, but have been repaired. Otherwise in generally good condition for their age, with rusty staples. Text blocs are relatively sound. Number three has AOC on front cover, both have a name written lightly on front cover and "This copy belongs to" panel inside rear covers stating "Air Vice-Marshal P. C. Maltby, A.O.C. No. 71 Group, R.A.F." Ref:165179
