Aviation Graveyard - Kingman Arizona..!

The Recent Loss Of The B-17, Christened "Liberty Belle", Has Inspired Me To Do This Video. The Images For This Video Are From My Treasured Collection Of Heartbreaking Photos From Kingman Arizona 1947 - 1948...

Kingman Arizona, Was The Location Of This Graveyard For Aircraft After WWII. Thousands Of Perfectly Good Surviving Aircraft Were Put To Smelter At Kingman..!

I Find This Collection Of Photographs To Be MOST Eerie..!

Can You Imagine The Conversations That Took Place Among These Warriors When They Were Gathered Here, Knowing They Were Going To Smelter..!

WE Should Have Been Listening, To EVERY TALE THEY TOLD...

These Machines Of War And The Brave Men Associated With THEM. ARE Responsible For The America That WE Know Today.

If EVER There Was Sacred GROUND It Was HERE..!


They Should Have Been Fenced In And Left @ Peace For ALL To Marvel..!

To Forever TELL Their Tales To Each Other, And Those That Understand..!

As THEY WERE The Most BEAUTIFUL Representations On Earth, Of Machines Designed To Do An Unpleasant Job..!

"The tumult and the shouting have died away. The B-17's and B-24's will never again assemble into strike formation in the bitter cold of embattled skies. Never again will the musical thunder of their passage cause the very earth to tremble, the source of sound lost in infinity and seeming to emanate from all things, visible and invisible.The great deep-throated engines are forever silent, replaced by the flat, toneless roar of the jets and the rockets.

But, on bleak and lonely winter nights in the English Midlands, ghost squadrons take off silently in the swirling mist of the North Sea from ancient weed-choked runways, and wing away toward the east, never to return. On other nights the deserted woodlands ring with unheard laughter and gay voices of young men and young women who once passed that way.

Recollections of all these fade a little with each passing year until at last there will finally remain only the indelible records of the all-seeing Master of the Universe to recall the deeds of valor excelled by no other nation, arm, or service. These sacred scrolls will forever remain the heritage of the free and untrampled people of this earth."

Colonel Budd Peasley, C.O. 384th Bomb Group (H), 8th Air Force

2:05 Survived nearly 150 runs and her reward is to rot in the desert. I bet her crew would weep to see her now. One of my mentors flew 200 runs in one just like it, I helped him track her down, we found her dying a slow silent death in the desert.

That was the first time I ever saw a grown man break down and cry.
