Rumours of buried Spitfires from the Second World War have spread around the world for seventy-five years. In April 2012, the press reported that the UK had negotiated an agreement with Myanmar for the recovery of twenty crated Spitfires, reportedly buried after WW2. Astonishingly the agreement came about through the single-minded determination of a farmer, David Cundall. Armed with a high-tech survey showing mysterious shapes under the surface of Yangon International Airport, David's expedition is equipped with JCB excavators. But instead of Spitfires, the team unearths a tale of fake history. The Buried Spitfires of Burma explores what happened next as David Cundall's dream unravelled over the course of a historical 'whodunnit' that spans seven decades and three continents. It follows one of the most bizarre stories since the sensational Hitler Diaries hoax.

With his new travel guide, The Aviator's Guide to Florida, pilot and author Udo Leinhauser has written the first travel guide specifically for private pilots. In addition to the usual information on flight planning, he addresses the first question most pilots ask after landing at a regional airport for the first time: What is there to do in this area? What most conventional pilot guides leave out, is covered here in detail for 40 select regional airports and airfields in Florida. Each airport location included in the book comes with maps, runway information and radio frequencies. However, Leinhauser has also provided background information on the region, described interesting tourist destinations, outdoor recreational activities, day trip ideas as well as tips on car rentals, restaurants and hotels. As a travel guide for pilots, it also naturally contains useful information on flying in Florida, with descriptions of areas that make for challenging flying, and airports that even the inexperienced pilot will have no problem flying into. With many color photographs and travel tips, pilots and their passengers can better plan their time on the ground to meet everyone's needs and interests. From restaurants in or near the airports during a short stopover to tips on full-day recreational activities, the Aviator's Guide to Florida contains helpful information for planning an interesting and fun-filled vacation in the Sunshine State. The guide includes information on: -Forty regional airports in Florida with a focus on tourist information, including getting around, food and lodging and tourist destinations. -Helpful information on flight planning -Reports and tips that are current and based on first-hand research"
