Scarce 1918 "Air Service Medical Manual" with Great Aviation Photography

This is a scarce circa 1918 hardcover copy of the United States Air Service Medical Manual from the War Department, Air Service Division of Military Aeronautics at Washington, D.C.

The book contains a photo of Major William R. Ream, the first flight surgeon to be put on "flying status", aboard his aircraft.

Circa 1918.

38 pages plus illustrations without page numbers; approximately 10-1/2" in height and 7-3/16" in width and 7/16" in thickness.

Embossed cloth-bound cover, paper.

Glued binding.

WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE 1918; PUBLIC LIBRARY ROSELLE, N.J. stamp on title page and one other page near end.

This is from a United States Army Air Forces collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. REF-RBE98 LAGEX4/13 SAGEX3/14

7- (Very Fine-): The book has some holes along the edges of the first few pages; some light spots of very wear to the cover; some seam separation and puckering throughout book.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
