This collection encompasses the full range of Wootton's art, from his intense early years as official artist to the RAF during WWII, to the very recent past, including his impressions of Concorde and modern high-tech fighter planes. The book begins with commentary from Wootton on his experiences, illustrated by his line drawings and sketches of the people, vehicles and aircraft that surrounded him. It then goes on to present over 70 exquisite plates splendidly reproduced in full colour.

This review is from: Aviation Art of Frank Wootton (Paperback)
I have just recently decided to collect aviation art, after spending 43 years as an aeronautical engineer for a major aircraft manufacturer. Books such as these and calandars af the same provide a very economical method of doing this, especially since my walls are full of other artwork and these items take up very little space and/or volume. These books are very worthy of my collecting and I am very happy to have found them. I will continue to collect additional items of this nature in the future.
