In the late 1970's; I got called to the chief librarian's desk at Douglas Long Beach one day. Was I the correct person to accept a report that a C-47 was being parted out by a breaker in Spain? Then at Tailhook in 2010 some of the guys told me that historic aircraft were being stripped and the parts cataloged in Bangladesh. I was pleased to see Harry Gann's name as author of this work.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
