Wreck Chasing A Guide to Finding Aircraft Crash Sites by Nicholas A. Veronico Sold Out: No Longer Available

The complete guide to researching, locating, and possibly recovering aircraft wrecks. Wreck Chasing is now being done by most major aviation museums in an effort to acquire aircraft types that were once thought to be non-existent. Also, many individuals are combining aviation interest, research, and outdoor activities such as hiking and camping in personal searches for aviation "treasure." Hundreds of aircraft crash sites, some remote, some easily accessible, lay dotted across the U.S. and Canada, many of them of rare vintage military aircraft. This book provides the methods and techniques from the start to guide you to an aircraft wreckage. Much of the book is devoted to a selection of stories by individuals active in Wreck Chasing, who tell their techniques and the stories behind the aircraft they have pursued. These include a B-24 bomber in Arizona, a P-63 Kingcobra in Oregon, and a Navy F2H jet fighter located less than a mile from a busy thoroughfare in the San Francisco Bay Area. Also included are detailed appendices with the known location of nearly 500 aircraft crash sites listed by state, and how to obtain information from the U.S. government including charts, crash records, and aircraft reports. Included also are a selection of photos showing actual crash sites, historical photos, and examples of official records. 8.5"x11", softbound, 84 pages, 64 photos. Published by Pacific Aero Press.
