The Real Top Gun

This is an outstanding work of art. Garner's pictures place you in the cockpit of the F-14, F-16 and the A-4. You will fly in and out of the "late" Miramar Naval Air Station, you will fly high above California's Sierra Nevada Mountains and you will cruise over the Southern California Pacific coast. You will witness flight briefings and ground maintenance. This is a classic book that is sadly out of print.

Superior Military Aviation Photography. . . .

Dean Garner is the master of military aviation photography. His first coffee-table book, TOPGUN Miramar, showcases more than two weeks of flying with the instructors at the US Navy Fighter Weapons School, aka TOPGUN, and chronicling the lives and loves (the jets, that is) of the men and women who make it all happen. Garner captured both ground and aerial images, revealing the behind-the-scenes look and feel of the real TOPGUN. His air-to-air images are breathtaking, to say the least. . . .Can't wait for the next installment!
