Wrecks & Relics: 29th Edition
This book is 349 pages long with 84 color photos and dozens of B&W photos. It has information on over 4000 aircraft in around 700 locations throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. Whether it be in a museum, private collection, military gate guard, junkyard or even backyard, you will find information on the preserved aircraft, wrecks, cockpits, and major sections. The book is broken down into 10 major sections. After the preface and acknowledgments there is a use guide and then sections by geographical background. These geographical sections are broken down to England, Scotland, Wales, Channel Islands, Northern Ireland, and Ireland. Each of these sections are then separated out in alphabetical order by County and City/town. All known existing aircraft or substantial remains are listed with specific locations and whether or not they are accessible to the public. The two color photo sections cover 50 pages total.
If you are planning a trip to the UK and/or Ireland and wish to visit various museums and specific types of aircraft, this book will tell you where those aircraft are, their condition and accessibility. This is a vital reference for those touring the UK and Ireland looking for aircraft. There is no other publication that contains this amount of information in one volume. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to the UK/Ireland and wanting to track down various aircraft across the countries. My thanks to Casemate for the review copy and to IPMS/USA for the review opportunity.
