DESCRIPTION:
These superbly illustrated books will appeal to aviation enthusiasts everywhere. From the Publisher The Osprey Colour Classics series was born out of an overwhelming demand for top-class aviation photography.
"Truckin' in the USA - By Air" according to Daniel L. Berek. As an unabashed fan of Stephen Piercey's work, I could not help but be curious about this book that bears a similar title as his works, as well as those of German authors, photographers, and aviation enthusiasts Morawietz and Weier. Austin Brown and Mark Wagner have also published several such books, such as "Big Props." I decided to give it a try. What could I lose? In fact, I had everything to gain!Like Morawietz and Weier, authors and photographers Brown and Wagner acknowledge the late Mr. Piercey
Included are the ubiquitous DC-3, firebombers, and rarities such as the 1929 vintage Ford 5ATC Trimotor famous for Grand Canyon charter flights, a Solent flting boat, and an extremely unairworthy Spruce Goose in Long Beach, California: A photographic joy for any prop fan.. Photographers Austin Brown and Mark Wagner combed North America to track down working propliners
