| Synopsis: |
The aim of this book is to show a range of the many aircraft of all types, which have been preserved around the globe. The definition of the term 'preserved' in the context of this book is a broad one. The aircraft recorded are either in a museum, on display elsewhere, most notable as gate guardians at military bases or other facilities, or are examples kept in flying condition long after it would have been normal to retire them. The aircraft in this book can therefore either be static or still flying, as is the case with the many 'warbirds' and vintage civil light aircraft, which can be seen at airshows. |

Franklin
In 1845 Captain Sir John Franklin led a large, well equipped expedition to complete the conquest of the Canadian Arctic, to find the fabled North West Passage connecting the North Atlantic to the North Pacific. Yet Franklin, his ships and men were fated never to return. Why did this outstanding scientific navigator find his ships trapped in pack ice seventy miles from magnetic north? In this riveting story of the Arctic, Andrew Lambert discovers a new Franklin: a character far more complex, and more truly heroic, than previous histories have allowed.
