The buried Spitfires of Burma : a 'fake' history
Brockman, Andy2020
Book
This is the story of Lincolnshire farmer David Cundall's quixotic quest to unearth dozens of Spitfire fighters he believes were buried at the end of WWII. Armed with a high-tech survey showing mysterious shapes under the sunbaked surface of Yangon Airport, David's expedition is equipped with state-of-the-art JCBs and supported by a crack team of archaeologists. Nothing can stop him from recovering the iconic aircraft because, as David tells the world's media, 'it's impossible to make up this story.' But instead, the team unearths a tale of fake history highlighting the conflict between those want to believe and those who demand evidence.
