It is therefore important that there should always be examples of a wide range of airplane types that will portray how improvements were conceived and then evolved throughout the years since man first took to the air. It is a debt that we owe to future generations; it is also a debt that has no shortage of volunteers willing to fulfill it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearly there are enormous differences in technique between the work required to reproduce the tailplane of a wooden-framed scout plane built in the first World War and that necessary to rebuild the landing-gear of a carrier-based jet that flew in Korea. It would be impossible to cover restoration in all possible situations, but what the author has succeeded in, is to put into words and illustrations many of the restoration and preservation concepts which were formulated during his long career at the American National Air and Space Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author takes the reader step by step through the process of 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-and-fabric 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 considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is destined to become the authoritative reference to the wide and complex subject of aircraft preservation and restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Mikesh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971972071770,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/IMG_9201.jpeg?v=1755698703","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/restoring-museum-aircraft","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
