The book "Desert Boneyard" by Patrick Hoeveler offers a comprehensive and fascinating documentation of the mysterious desert boneyards, which are of great interest to aviation enthusiasts. These gigantic desert airfields in Arizona and California serve as storage sites for military and civilian aircraft from around the world. Here, the planes are either stored permanently or temporarily, to serve as a source of spare parts or to be reactivated after a certain period. The unique photographic documentation provides readers with insights into a world that is far removed from the well-known airports. The combination of impressive images and informative texts makes this specialized book a valuable resource for anyone interested in aviation history and the associated political and social aspects.
