Obsession takes on many forms. For these guys, it’s trekking across the globe to find and recover rare aeroplanes that crashed during World War II, then restore them so they’ll fly again.

Jerry Yagen is the Virginia millionaire plane collector who bankrolls the hunt. Murray Griffiths is the lead plane hunter who also runs a restoration shop in Australia. Mechanic Adam Maley rounds out the team, keeping things colourful with his West Virginia twang.
