Aircraft graveyards are gigantic areas, usually in desert regions, where old or temporarily surplus aircraft are parked. Either for the recovery of high-quality spare parts or for reactivation at a later date. This illustrated book shows the most fascinating aircraft graveyards in Europe and overseas and also presents the techniques and procedures used to mothball and dismantle aircraft. Fascinating insights that you don't normally get to see! The book takes the reader on a very special journey around the globe and into a largely unknown area of aviation.
