Hidden amid the foliage and scrap metal, abandoned fleet of WWII fighter planes lie rotting in the backwoods of Ohio

Via WiscoDave

These eerie pictures show all that remains of a fleet of World War II U.S. Air Force fighter planes. With their livery almost obscured by rust and moss these abandoned metal skeletons are almost unrecognisable from the once great air crafts they were. Pictured is a B-25 Mitchell

Planes were lovingly collected by scrapyard worker Walter Soplata in his back garden in Newbury, Ohio, in 1940s

 But since his death the planes lie at the abandoned graveyard amongst overgrown foliage and scrap metal

 The haunting images of the aviation graveyard were captured by 24-year-old photographer, Jonny Joo

    That B-25 and that F-86D are both worth there weight in gold. There are not more than a handful of ether one left on the planet.---Ray
