Since the release of Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air in 1997, a torrent of books has been published about people who do crazy things in cold places. Hunting Warbirds is such a book, with one difference: The people it describes are after more than mere death-skirting adventure. They're after treasure in the form of crashed World War II airplanes, and journey to the bitter edges of the earth to salvage them. It is a ripping story, and a fascinating introduction to an unlikely obsession.
