Holy !
That's a fantastic WWI Log Book, no wonder it has "R.A.F. Can' on the right corner.
Lot of history there.
Thank you for posting.
Cheers!

The A/C log is for a JN4. The engine log book does not state which type of A/C it was on, however it gives the A/C number, however I see that A/C crashed also, however the engine was saved, after looking at these, I see that they are from 2 different Training Squadrons.

A very interesting set of early flying ephemera, gotta be uncommonly seen I would think.

its just an opinion.

I had never seen this sort of thing before I bought them, so I am guessing they are rare.
Just think every WW1 A/C must of had these, guess they were thrown away at sometime.
