Restoring Museum Aircraft

Robert Mikesh takes the reader step by step through the process of
aircraft restoration from the initial decision to prepare for an exhibit:
Does it fit the museum s aims? How will it be displayed? Will it fly? And
of course: Is it good value? Initial preparation before disassembly are
noted and then the principal techniques in working with wood-andfabric,
and metal aircraft are discussed, using many interesting real
examples. Types of propulsion, tires, colors and markings are covered
systematically and the different requirements for indoor or outdoor
exhibition are shown. This book is considered the authoritative reference
to the wide and complex subject of aircraft preservation and
restoration.
