An interesting manual that was originally a Russian document, it is well known the Russians were some of the pioneers of parachuting. The document itself is a translation carried out by Yarborough's father Major Leroy W. Yarborough, he was an intelligence officer for the U.S.Army. The document relates to aero station, balloons, airships, aeroplanes and parachutes and interestingly the document itself was held by his son Captain Yarborough of the Provincial Parachute Group. Yarborough was known as the father of the U.S. airborne and it is clear that enthusiasm for airborne operations must have run within the family. The document also contains a letter signed by Yarborough Senior, then a Major in the Infantry Executive dated '1941' detailing the contents etc., of the document. There is a secondary transcript also of this same letter. The item is in good condition with foxing and yellowing to the pages and a little fragility to edges etc., with some of the binding now shredded however there is an excellent graphic image to the front of a small airship and to the upper corner written in Yarborough Junior's hand 'Captain Yarborough Provincial Para Group'. A most interesting item and almost definitely emanating from the estate of Captain Yarborough, which was broken up and sold decades previously.
