It does have some nice historical content however
Does someone know from what movie was this taken from
Scott, move this over if you think it belongs somewhere else.
Quite depressing actually.

The shots of an airman walking among the B-17s awaiting the scrappers are of Dana Andrews in "The Best Years of Our Lives" -- William Wylers' powerful mutiiple Oscar winning portrait of four WWII veterans adjusting to life back home in 1946.

It is my understanding that the shots of the bone yard in The Best Years of Our Lives were filmed at Chino just after WWII. Chino had a large number of aircraft stored and scrapped there.
A few years ago a bunch of WWII aircraft parts were uncovered during a construction project near Chino airport. I saw some of those parts that were picked up by a guy at Rialto. Some of them were in amazing condition for having been buried in that "special" Chino soil for 60 years.

wouldn't you trade your pinky finger(s) for a few things: To have been there (1946), a pilots licence, foresight and $5000??

Most of the metal they found there while digging for a wide taxiway was recently carted off for new hangar construction. Most of the stuff had been through a smelter where the aluminum was melted away and recovered and only the steel remained. The steel was then plowed under. Lots of armor plate and the like survived mostly unscathed although a little rusty.Taigh Ramey wrote:It is my understanding that the shots of the bone yard in The Best Years of Our Lives were filmed at Chino just after WWII.
