In every field of endeavor, in every shop of any size there is usually one man who stands out, who knows more, can do more and do it better than any other man in the shop. How did he get that way? What makes him so good? Knowledge. Knowledge from his training, experience and from books. He reads.
If you're not that man, but especially if you are, this book will help take you to the next level in oxyacetylene welding. This book will teach you how to be a high-performance gas (oxyacetylene) welder of the highest caliber!
The best part is that the author assumes you know absolutely nothing about welding. He will teach you everything from the ground up begining with the first chapter on "Equipment."
Sure it's nice to have the latest square wave inverter or heliarc w/high freq TIG welder or at least a new Henrob torch. But you really don't need the latest high priced equipment to do professional high performance welding that is required for aircraft, race car or motorcycle construction. All you really need is that oxyacetylene torch you have in the back of the shop and this book!
This instruction was written in the days when men had to walk the walk, not just talk about it. These were real craftsmen and you can learn all their secrets about high performance welding. All our airplanes that flew in World War II, the P-51 Mustangs, P-38s, B-26s and all the rest were welded together using these methods. In case you weren't around then, we won that war. Our planes held together. Civil aircraft were constructed with these welding procedures too.
In 1942 Walter Beech commented
"The Beech Aircraft Corporation at the present time has in its employ more welders who have been trained under the supervision of Mr. Elzea than have come from any other one source. This fact is ample evidence of the soundness of his methods of instruction."
So how were WWII airplanes put together? Rivets. Rivets and welds produced by oxyacetylene torches. No TIG. No Heliarc. No high-frequency units Just oxyacetylene torches.
Here you get the secrets of how metal tubes and other components were combined to build empennage frames, engine mounts, landing gear, and whole fuselages. This is about high performance welding with simple gear.
Chapters cover: equipment, tools, weld characteristics and types, stress, jigs, methods of construction, welding aluminum and stainless, exercises in welding steel, aluminum and stainless, drawings and prints, air corps specifications and more.
Since this is a textbook published to train the countless welders in a hurry that were to be needed for war production, you know that it is simply written, loaded with straight-to-the-point how-to, and is heavily illustrated with photos from Boeing, Douglass, Beech, North American, Martin, Lockheed, Cessna, Ryan, and other aviation firms.
Here's what J. E. Schaefer, the Vice President of Boeing Aircraft, Wichita Division in 1941 thought about this book.
Mr. L. S. Elzea, Head Instructor
National Defense Training School
Your splendid service with our company and your wide experience in the field of aircraft welding prompts me to write this letter of indorsement for your new book titled, "Aircraft Welding".
I am sure this book will be a valuable addition to any library featuring industrial subjects. Notwithstanding the fact that modern aircraft design features metal type construction, there is still a demand for welded structures; engine mounts, landing gears, etc. The very nature of these structures requires welding of the highest type.
Good aircraft welders should therefore be in demand for some time to come. Your book will, I am sure, assist greatly in the development and training of the type craftsmen the industry will require.
Best wishes for its success and large distribution.
Whether you're the top man in the shop or aspire to be, or if you are building aircraft, motorcycles, race cars, go-carts, or a roller-coaster this book will show you how to make gas welded joints that will hold together.
If you really want to make your torch do some amazing things, then get this book and get started. Excellent!
8-1/2X11" Softcover 121 pages very well illustrated!
