Very excited about this discovery. Vietnam Era pilot’s Flight Crew Checklist manual. Everything you ever wanted to know about piloting the F-105 from startup to ditching, bomb release and cruising speeds. This jet was capable of breaking the sound barrier and this pilot did. More history to come. #found #militaria #vietnam #usaf #jets #f105f #war #history #manuals #estatesale #urbanarcheology

I can’t believe how lucky I was to pick up this letter at a NY sale. TW Higginson was an abolitionist, author, and the Colonel of the 1st Negro Regiment during the Civil War. He was also a mentor, friend to Emily Dickinson. Museum material. #found #civilwar #foundletters #twhigginson #1859 #history #massachusetts #oldpaper estatesales #urbanarcheology
