Air Publication 1404A (AP140A) is the official British Air Ministry instructional handbook, this copy published in 1936. This rare pilot and maintenance manual outlines the technical specifications, operation, and structural elements of the iconic interwar Hawker Hart light biplane bomber. The manual focuses on two key configurations of the Rolls-Royce Kestrel engine, Rolls-Royce Kestrel I.B. and Rolls-Royce Kestrel X, which was famous for its cast-block design and exceptional power to weight ratio. This manual is bound with paper covers which display a little toning and wear. Internally there is some foxing throughout, although the pages are generally clean. Illustrated with several technical drawings, some folding, and photographs. pp. xii + 104. Overall a very good copy and a must for any aviation enthusiast.
