Wild About Flying: The Dreamers, Doers and Daredevils Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This large format book has two major appeals: the beautiful paintings that illustrate the planes - and the nicely written biographical pieces. Each section averages about 3 pages, some more, some less. Typically there are 2-3 small photos and 3-4 paintings (some large) per story. There are about 60 such sections, each on a famous flyer or flight. This a much more international selection than you're used to seeing.
While the stories are fascinating, it's the paintings that will draw you back again and again to this book. They appear to be a mixture of oils and watercolors I think (I'm no artist!). Many are beautiful action scenes; all show great detail.
This is the kind of book that will inspire you to go buy a cheap set of watercolors and see if you can capture some of this magic yourself!
Highly recommended.
