The book is split into 4 chapters, plus 2 appendixes, and these are split as follows:-

  1. Developing a Strategic Aircraft Reserve
  2. Aircraft Storage and Disposal
  3. Along the Storage Rows
  4. Scrapping the Big Fleets

Each chapter covers a specific theme and has well-written content, with a well-chosen selection of photographs to accompany the text.  It covers the history of the boneyards from their inception after WW2 right up to the current date.

It is reasonably priced and well worth adding to your collection
