Describes step by step the entire process of restoring an aircraft for a museum, from the initial decision to preparing the aircraft for exhibition: Does the chosen aircraft fit the museum's goals? How will it be exhibited? Does it have to be airworthy? And last but not least: Is it a good value investment? Initial preparatory work before disassembly is explained, as are the various craft techniques for woodwork, fabric and metalwork. Different propulsion systems, tyres, colour schemes and markings are systematically dealt with and the different requirements for indoor and outdoor aircraft are pointed out.
