New from Tempest Publishing is a great book covering the Davis Monthan AFB Scrap yards and this volume focuses on the 1980’s. the book starts with an introduction and Mr. Robson goes into his love of the fields and there is a great overall shot of the many planes stored and dismantled there.

One of the first things I learned was that there are multiple actual scrapping and recovery facilities. The book is actually broken down by these and follows a path around the yards. The chapters include the following:

Introduction

Southwestern Alloys

Kolar/Airmet

Dross Metals

Bob’s Air Park

Western International Aviation

Delcon/United Aeronautical Corporation

Allied Aircraft Sales

Desert Eagle Aviation/Minden Air

Desert Air Parts
