Are you an aviation enthusiast with an interest in how aviation museums restore and preserve aircraft or maybe your examining a future as a prospective aviation museum volunteer but are wanting to learn a good deal of what goes into a restoration and preservation process before you join a local museum?
The book “Restoring Museum Aircraft” written by well known author Robert Mikesh, is maybe just what you need to buy.
Down Under Aviation News has just completed the book review and highly recommends aviation enthusiasts consider buying this book even just for a reference book if you have a strong interest in understanding how warbirds and civil aircraft are put on display in museums.
This book will help you gain a basic to intermediate understanding of just how complex restorations can be,insights to the slow painstaking work to repair and recreate parts and the team work that goes into a restoration at a museum.

Copies were available as remaindered stock a little while back from a well known UK high street shop for about £5 IIRC. Great book, if now a little dated, but amazed it is still being sold for such high prices elsewhere.

I bought this book years ago. Though mine has a different dust cover, it came out in 1997 in the UK.
