RIP John Harold Haynes

[SteveJ]

The man who popularized the phrase "assembly is reverse of disassembly" has passed away. 

I was looking for a service manual 26 years ago after I purchased my Z. I had no idea factory manuals might be available. First I found the Chiltons manual, but it covered the S30, S130, and Z31 in the same book, so it wasn't that useful. Then I found the Haynes manual, and in comparison to the Chiltons, I felt I struck gold. I still remember using the Haynes manual to figure out how to replace the vent hoses in my 240Z since it had photos that the FSM lacked.

And if you ever need to service your carrier fighter, who else could you turn to? https://haynes.com/en-gb/grumman-f-14-tomcat-manual

I'm glad Mr. Haynes believed there was a need for his services. He was correct.

I've had my Haynes 240Z manual since the early 1980's, I think.  Dog-eared, grease-smeared, binding disintegrated, but still a great resource.  I think I got my money's worth.
