AMARG:
America’s Military Aircraft Boneyard
Nicholas A. Veronico and Ron Strong
$24.95
This country's largest
military aircraft storage center began in the heady days following the end
of World War II. At first only a small desert site holding bombers and
transports in reserve for possible future use, it later became more of a
salvage and parts recovery operation, and in many cases, a final resting
place known as “the boneyard.” In the
1950s and 1960s, with new wars erupting in Korea and Vietnam, certain aircraft stored in this desert center were once
again in demand, and this famed storage and salvage facility in Tucson, Arizona, answered the call. Numerous photographs taken both
from the air and on the ground show vistas of the 4,000 total airplanes
stored at this site, while a detailed appendix gives a comprehensive
listing of all the aircraft types currently at AMARG (Aerospace Maintenance
and Regeneration Group). In many cases, the numbers are quite staggering
and are sure to surprise the reader.
