5.0 out of 5 stars poetry in motion, June 1, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Air Racing Today: Heavy Iron at Reno (Paperback)
Besides the excellent photos, a true pictorial guide to Reno, the writing as the truly conveys the poetry that surrounds the human endeavor of the races. It is a real testimonial to the races, a passioned look at them, the machines, flyers, ground crew and everyone that make Reno happen. So, much more than a dry text, Handleman really achieved a text where we can almost feel the electric razor sharp voltage that makes your hair raise with excitement, the feeling that something greater is happening. For the air race enthusiast this should be a great book, because of the photos and the text. If looking for something more detailed, with listings of winners, secret engine setups or deep data on racing history this isn't the best choice. For the feeling of it then this is a must, one can almost here the roaring of the engines jumping out of the pages.
