Format:Paperback
Although quite a small book (64p) the information is interesting and helps a novice plane wreck searcher like myself understand some of the methods employed in recovering and restoring aircraft. Although mostly based on the south east of England, some of the photographs show great detail in excavation sites. Well worth a chance for just a few pounds!
