Publisher's Synopsis
Wrecks & Relics is a national institution. Each edition is eagerly awaited and snapped up by enthusiasts, historians, owners and operators of historic aircraft and curators of aviation collections as the most trusted and hard-working of reference books in the field of aviation. Now in its 41st year of publication, the 18th edition marks the author's 29th year at the helm. The book takes the reader on a county-by-county and province-by-province journey through the fascinating world of museums, military stores and dumps, 'geriatric' airliners awaiting the axe, restoration workshops, technical schools, treasures in garages and barns and much more. Within the wealth of information supplied can be found commentary, items to raise the eyebrow and myriad 'I never knew that', expressions! Fully revised and updated, this latest edition has an array of appendices to take the subject further and the usual extensive indexing and cross-referencing. The 64 page full colour photo section is packed with fascinating and obscure subjects which are wide ranging as ever. Interest in aviation heritage continues to increase - possession of Wrecks & Relics is the subject's essential companion.
