A propos de cet article

Softback 128 pages Published Price £17.99 Simon W. Parry's Spitfire Hunters: The Inside Stories Behind the Best of the TV Aircraft Digs offers a fascinating account of the development of aviation archaeology and the remarkable wartime aircraft recoveries that captured television audiences. Published in 2010, this extensively illustrated 128-page volume goes behind the scenes of some of Britain's best-known aircraft excavations.Rather than concentrating solely upon the machines themselves, Parry examines the dedicated historians, archaeologists, researchers and recovery teams responsible for locating and excavating aircraft from their long-forgotten crash sites. Many of these investigations reached a wider audience through major television programmes, including Channel 4's Time Team and BBC productions such as Timewatch and Meet the Ancestors.The book combines the practical challenges of aviation archaeology with the wartime stories behind each discovery. Aircraft identification, excavation and recovery are placed alongside accounts of the machines' operational histories and the airmen who flew them, reconnecting surviving wreckage with the human events that led to its burial.Part archaeological study, part aviation history and part behind-the-scenes television account, Spitfire Hunters provides an appealing record of how painstaking research and fieldwork can recover forgotten evidence of the air war and bring individual wartime stories back into view. …
