Pzkpfw-e Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 If you look at how many planes went straight from their factory, to boneyards like Davis-Monthan and the numbers that were scrapped in Europe, with easy access to smelters, it's not so surprising. Here's a lot of Jeeps in Okinawa & Korea. http://www.tahiti-pacifique.com/hobbies/Jeeps-what-bloody-waste.html What'd that lot be worth today?
