Book Description

March 21, 2000
“A Day Above Yemen” gives the reader an opportunity to view the ancient land of Yemen from a modern perspective. From above, the deep canyons and majestic mountains of Hadramawt, seem even more dramatic than when viewed from the land.

Yemen is a land of such contrasts and beauty that it is impossible to capture all its facets in one book. “A Day Above Yemen” give us a fascinating glimpse into and over many of its varied regions. It gives the reader a tantalizing view of this little known country and the life lead by its warm and hospitable people.

Review

"A Day Above Yemen is a magnificent pictorial tribute to one of Arabia's most photogenic countries." -- Middle East Outlook, BP Magazine - Issue 2 Spring 2000

About the Author

Yorkshire-born John Nowell completed his first wing over at the age of fourteen as a member of the Air Training Corps, in a De Havilland Chipmunk. He decided then and there that flying was to be his career. After leaving school, he joined the Royal Air Force but was too late to achieve his ambition of flying Sunderland flying boats. He did serve on some of the great flying boat squadrons, numbers 206, 205 and 230, where in addition to his flying duties he was responsible for the squadron records, including the photo albums and the RAF Form 540s – the monthly operational record of the squadron. It was here that John first saw the amazing records of the exploration flights, made in the 1930s, by the flying boat crews who crossed half the world to Australia and the Far East.

John was made a Licenciate of The Royal Photographic Society in 1990 on the basis of the photographs in his first book, A Day Above Oman. His photographic interest in history and archeology was also instrumental in the location of four-thousand-year-old tombs on a remote plateau in Oman. This lead him being made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. He is also an Upper Freeman of the Guild of Pilots and Navigators. Now based in Dubai he is working on further books in the ‘A Day Above’ and ‘Now & Then’ series.
