We take our responsibility for preserving some of the worlds rarest aviation documents seriously here at Essco Aircraft. Thousands of man (mostly woman) hours have gone into scanning, despeckling, deskewing, removing noise from documents some dating back to the 1920's.
Here is a gracious letter from the Yankee Air Museum after a devastating fire left them without manuals for restoration and repair:
"Thank You Essco: We owe a large Thank You to Essco Aircraft who saw our needs here & generously donated a complete set of aircraft maintenance manuals for all four of our aircraft. Stacked up they are almost 3 feet tall! Given the age of our aircraft & rarity of these manuals they are invaluable to us. They are also a very sizable donation in todays dollars by Michael Stadvec owner of Essco. We'd also like to thank the efforts of Ernie & Patty. Essco has always been an excellent resource for any aircraft manual of any age, always friendly service too!"
