| Those interested in military aviation already know about the Boneyard. More officially known as the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center (AMARC), it is the place where old military airplanes from all of the services are stored. Some fly again. Some give up their parts to keep similiar aircraft flying. And some meet their fate through a process of chopping and melting.
Military flyers consider it almost hallowed ground. Aircraft that kept them safe during times of conflict reside here. When old flyers visit, their faces take on a distant look. You can actually watch them remember their times with these aircraft. Rich in full color, full page photographs, Boneyard Almanac presents the history of AMARC and its current collection of military aviation hardware. Previously unpublished photographs from the USAF Museum, AMARC, and the Author's personal collection pictorially take you row-by-row through the thousands of aircraft in storage there.

Every occupation has a vocabulary unique unto itself. Expressions, slang words, and acronyms that only those in that particular field would likely understand. Nowhere is that more true than in the military. These men and women have been building their vocabulary since before the civil war. It is creative, funny, irreverent, and often obscene. Years of research combined with nearly a half-century of personal experience has resulted in a book rich in the colorful language of the armed forces. We present an alphabetical listing in 26 chapters, which gives the reader the meaning of such expressions as, 'tail-end charlie”, “dixie cup”, “prang”and hundreds more. The text is complimented by appropriate photographs on nearly every page; many never before seen; all depicting a military scene associated with a specific term. The photographic experience continues with chapters 27 - 30 which include over 50 pages of unique supplemental photographs of “Aviation,” “Soldiers & Marines,” “Naval Affairs,” and “Posters.”
