The Book of Air Shows by P Handleman
The Book of Air Shows
by Philip Handleman
“There is no more fitting a place than an air show or fly-in for the knowledgeable technicians to pass on a taste of their trade to young, impressionable visitors.”
The above quote is an excerpt from the caption of the last photo in this book. And inspiring the young generation—not just in terms of technical matters but also in terms of history and the aircraft community with its camaraderie and lifestyle—is certainly a reason for Handleman to write a book like this. He is a long-time private pilot and photographer/filmmaker and both these qualities neatly come together here. You may recognize his name from the over 20 aerospace-related books he has written/edited, or from several PBS documentaries—or the 1997 US postage stamp commemorating the 50th anniversary of the US Air Force that featured his photo of a Thunderbird formation in flight (philatelists: this happens to be the first US stamp to use the Scrambled Indicia security device).
