The organization does not have a webpage or any publically availible information, museum or office known to date. The address listed is Hagen's only. This solo company, created in 2000 (?) was created by Alfred Hagen, a Philidelphia businessman who owns Hagen Construction. It has no prior experience related to aricraft salvage, restoration or historical matters.

Hagen has traveled around the world looking at WWII wrecks to salvage, including the United States, Lybia and Papua New Guinea. Hagen has previously worked with David Tallichet / MARC, and submitted a proposal to the PNG Museum to recover B-17E 41-2446 known as Swamp Ghost, under the banner of 'Aero Archeology'. Meanwhile, he funded the salvage of P-47D 42-22687 by Robert Greinert

His permit expired for the B-17, it was quietly renewed and the bomber salvaged in late April / early May 2006, and became highly controversial and impounded. His company was mentioned in the PAC Report on the Swamp Ghost by the PNG Government.
