[Milsurplus] [ARC5] Disposition of surplus aircraft, Europe WWII

[Hubert Miller]

Many thanks to all those who posted on this subject. I will have to revise my understanding. I think in Europe destruction of aircraft and equipment was ( maybe ) 
the exception, and early on, after the war. In the Pacific theater, of course on the islands the idea was to get rid of stuff, get stuff out of the way, quickly. Then in
Japan itself, there was the not unreasonable consideration that hardcore recalcitrant types might try something with armament that remained. 
One interesting thing, i think, and not well documented, as i have seen anyway, is the use by China of leftover Japanese warplanes. Of course the spare parts 
situation was very limited with nothing new coming from Japan.

If you perchance remember a book title or author of some lit that describes such incidents, i would sure appreciate you telling me same.
