Aircraft Woodwork, The Best Books
ANC-18 Design of Wood Aircraft Structures
ANC-19 Wood Aircraft Inspection & Fabrication
Long out-of-print government bulletins. ANC-18 is the basic reference for wood aircraft
designers, and it is full of graphs and formulas. Few Falco builders will profit from this book.
ANC-19 is the “Bible” of aircraft woodwork. There isn’t a builder who will not profit from
reading it, but many of the most pertinent sections have been summarized in the
F.8L Falco
Construction Manual . Reproductions of these books can be obtained from John Roby.

construction methods. Every builder will find something of interest in these books which are
written by a Falco builder! Highly recommended. Available from Experimental Aircraft
