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.
