Aprašymas
The study of aviation graveyards is a much maligned area of death research. The final resting place of sizeable non-organic beasts is routinely overlooked, yet it is still, in every respect, a graveyard and deserves to be recognised as such. From an extensive desert necropoli to a war-torn underwater mausoleum, very little of the world remains untouched by the boneyard phenomenon, and less has been written about these remarkable cemeteries. With a significant percentage still languishing in 'Top Secret' facilities, hidden behind barbed wire-fences and gated perimeters, it is hardly surprising. Nonetheless, advancements in technology has enabled those with an adventurous spirit, armchair or otherwise, to peel back these layers of secrecy and take a sneaky peak at the skeletal remains of once aeronautic marvels, the findings of which are truly astonishing. Boneyards of Steel - Exploring the World's Aircraft Graveyards aims to take the reader on a flight of discovery, a mechanical odyssey of detection, unearthing the remains of aircraft in some of the planets most inhospitable regions, breathing new life into a wide-ranging collection of machine-driven detritus, metaphorically speaking, and, more significantly, to bring awareness to an often forgotten yet invaluable heritage.
