Air Ministry Pamphlets was created by netcompsys
I am wondering if anyone has these or similar Air Minstery Pamphlets?





They date from about 1943/4 and were issued to trainee aircrew after they were streamed at ITW

I only have the front covers
Thanks

What is the definition of a "pam" as opposed to a small manual? I have a few Weapons Notes For Flying Personnel from 1948/9 which are between 20 and thirty pages and stapled.

I always check eBay once a week as these things sometimes pop up at a reasonable price, unlike the stupidly expensive ones that seem to have been on eBay for years!

No Amount Of Evidence Will Ever Persuade An Idiot (probably not Mark Twain)

I dont know what the definition is, but a similar one "You are going to become a FLight Engineer" is about 20 sides total so I expect these will be the same

The are actualy called "A M Pamphlets" which is the term I have used

The Pilot one is AM Pamphlet 144
The Navigator one is AM Pamphlet 145
The Engineer one is AM Pamphlet 166

There were a number of other pamphlets in the "sense" series
eg
Propeller Sense
Oxygen sense, etc

and others

I noticed a copy of Oxygen Sense on eBay along with a couple of Survival ones. My youngest daughter is involved with the creation of some Army pamphlets which they call pams.

The Oxygen sense one was £20 so pass....

The four "survival" pamphlets are post war I think and are available as facsimiles from the RAF Museum among other places for £3.99
