Gorgeous aerial photography

"Air to Air" contains some of the most beautiful air-to-air photography I have seen. This book is quite different from Geza Szurovy's "Executive Jets", recommended by another reviewer below. To compare the two is to compare apples and oranges. "Executive Jets" is about the airplanes as airplanes. The descriptions are technical and factual, and the photos are mostly meant to show features of the planes. There are a handful of interestingly composed photos, but that's not what this book is for. "Air to Air" is much more about the airplanes as pieces of art, and the photography certainly speaks to that. You still learn something about the airplanes, but the text serves more to personify than to explain the airplanes. This is a great coffee table book. Don't expect to take this book to the local air field for identifying aircraft, because that is not the purpose of this book. As for the quality, I find it outstanding. The quality of the print is superior, and the book is itself is nearly a piece of art. And as for the expense, to get a collection of interesting and unusual photography like this must have been massively expensive. In this book you see only a handful of the dozens or hundreds of photos of each plane that Bowen surely shot to get the effects he wanted. Flight time is costly! I highly recommend this book to people who can appreciate aircraft as artwork and who enjoy beautiful photographic composition.

Air to Air

What a collection of aviation photography, some of the most breath taking shots I have ever seen, sure to be a collector's book. The book feature a wonderful collection of aircraft photo Begain with Challenger Jet, and finish with Agusta helicopters. Mostly executive jets, with some light aircrafts and helicopters.
