This is a unique book about photography with ample pictures; took place for the most part in the United States. The chapter about the Starship fascinated me when the author talked about the "accident" and the crew that went from the factory to Denmark to repair the aircraft. The "Doomed Flight" in Croatia was eye opening, telling it like it was, not the hyped stories one hears from the TV today. This is a good read from a first time author, capturing history as it happened.

The "Challenges of an Airborne Industrial Photographer" reads well, and in a relaxed tone. You learn interesting shooting techniques in every chapter. Some of the aircraft we see today were developed back in the '80 and the author was unaware of the "history" he was working on at the time. The "Bullfrog Basin Affair" was exciting reading when the crew was approached by the feds with guns drawn.

I could imagine what was going through their minds with the thought of loosing their airplane and going to jail. I will never think of a photo job in the "States" quite the same. Good job.
