Final Flights. Dramatic Wartime Incidents Revealed by Aviation Archaeology by Ian McLachlan uncovers the remains of World War II aeroplanes. However, this is not a book about digging up aircraft, but is concerned with the men who died - the aircraft merely being clues to the history they represented. In rediscovering the recent past, in reconstructing events and wartime incidents from tangled and buried wreckage, eye-witness accounts and contemporary documentation, aviation archaeologists bring recognition to the individual flyers involved and shed new light on the air war between the British, American and other Allied air forces one hand and their Axis opponents on the on the other. Profusely illustrated in b&w. Hardcover. 256pp.
Very good in a very good dustjacket. Some pages have had their corners folded. The dustjacket's top edge is worn.
