  Product Article by Tom Flynn

  The front cover 

  This comprehensive, and well documented journey of the life of airliners after service, is filled with many statistics, stories and color photographs that leads the reader into the other realm of the aircraft that have served the worlds transportation needs over the years.

  Junkyard jets is in landscape format (8.5×11-inches), consisting of 192 pages with 367 color photos. It is available in hardbound with a dust jacket, or softbound. All profits from the sale of these books are donated to the American Museum of Aviation that will be opening sometime in 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

  There are five chapters as well as a list of major aircraft storage and dismantling facilities. The text is easy to read and understand, and the photographs are the real selling point. I think for the money, this is a great aviation book for the personal reference library and the fact that all the profits go to a new museum!

  I really enjoyed this book. It has many photographs showing the “inner workings” of airliners that appeal to me especially since I am primarily an airline modeler.  However, the spotter, general aviation modeler as well as the enthusiast will find this book very interesting. The registration as well as the MSN (Manufacturers Serial Number) is noted with the photographs to allow the reader to track the ‘birth‘ of the airframe until its demise. The photographs illustrate numerous components and construction details that will be very useful for the scratch builder as well as the detailing modeler.  Besides, there may be a picture of an airplane you may have flown on at one time!
