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-
