Halifax Bomber one would be the most valuable as it is a rare book.

They are worth nothing, and in fact you will have to pay poeple to take them off your hands...that being said, I will humbly offer my services, adn take the POH's off your hands free of charge...I'm just that nice of a guy :)

Honestly though, thats awesome, I've been bugging my grandfarther for his Wellington Mk III POH but hes not sure if he has it anymore or not.

Get a tax credit for them when you donate them for a large value to an accredited museum. Doesn't cost them anything to issue you the tax credit.

I have a Tiger Moth, Spitfire MK IX, a Griffon engine and a prop manual for a Spit, as well as a ME 110 and a Heinkel...swap for a new Lexus!

I'd like to check out that Spitfire AFM not only to see the specs, but just to see how little information someone needed back then to operate a high performance fighter. I bet it's smaller than a 172 POH.

I have a set for the CP-121 Tracker. I'd gladly trade it for a job flying Trackers.
