Check out this auction and sign up for new notices via your Auction Ninja account! We continue to load items up to the day of the auction. This auction will feature ephemera from an estate featuring a collection of World War 2 flying Aces, Flying Tigers, German Ace Pilots and some Japanese Pilots. The collection was assembled over a period of time through direct correspondence and in some cases, meetings with the pilots (American pilots). German and Japanese Aces, more difficult to collect, were done via postal mail. Many of the items include authentic correspondence between the collector and the pilots, including in some cases, the envelopes. An outstanding collection that shouldn't be missed!!

We are generally a ship only service but if you live near us, contact us for a potential pickup point ...view moreand time for pickup. All international and USA shipments are by USPS and are shipped only to the registered address with the account at Auction Ninja. No exceptions for shipment other than to the address on the account. We charge a 20% buyer's premium, and we carry items that reflect a higher value than that which is normally seen on Auction Ninja. We have consignors that have set reserves on their valuable items and because you win a low bid DOES NOT MEAN you have won the item. Calix Books will cancel all low bids at its sole discretion to protect our consignors’ valuable objects, art, books, porcelain, ephemera or other items. Auction Ninja does NOT provide a reserve auction restriction and while we may start an item at a low starting price, look closely at the 'Estimated Value' of the item. Our goal is to provide the bidder with a fair market value assessment while also ensuring that our consignors are protected as well. If you are a low-ball bidder, this auction is probably not for you. We are NOT in the business of giving valuable goods away at yard sale prices. We ARE in the business of providing good, high-quality Antiques and collectibles at a fair price for both the bidder and the consignor. A negative report because your bid was rejected, and your money returned, will bar you from ever participating in any of Calix Books auctions in the future. All sales are final, and all bidders must consult outside sources or advisors about any items at our auction. We do the best we can to describe objects, but we will NOT be held liable for anything we say, write or communicate with words or images. By registering and bidding on this auction or any other auction by Calix Books you accept these terms and conditions as well as all the terms and conditions of Auction Ninja and Chase Bank. ALL SALES ARE FINAL, NO EXCEPTIONS.
