[ARC5] Disposition of surplus aircraft, Europe WWII

[scottjohnson1 at cox.net]

If it’s on Quora, it’s likely BS.  I feel dumber every time I get sucked in to reading a Quora post.

In some Quora discussion one fellow mentioned he had read of US surplus planes in Europe, being burned after end of war.

I questioned this. I know about planes in the Pacific area being burned, but the vet told me that Japanese planes were burned.

I gather US planes were cannibalized for parts and then bulldozed, or maybe just pushed off the deck.  In Europe i don’t think

any plane was burned. There was a metal industry to feed, i mean increasingly after maybe 1947, as Europe came back to life.

Do you, reader, know anything about this subject? References?

thanks-
