This book is a grand, full-color celebration of the great North American air shows. Philip Handleman's camera captures the great variety of civilian and military aircraft from around the world, as well as the many personalities and participants at Tico, Reno, Sun 'n Fun, Watsonville, Oshkosh, Galesburg, Flint, Geneseo, Chino, Harlingen, Mt. Comfort, Windsor, Ontario, Kalamzoo, Air/Space America, Selfridge, Wurtsmith, and Battle Creek. From the Stearman's, and early bi-and tri- planes, to the WWII era warbirds, up to the present day F-15 and SR-71, any and all aircraft that fly through the modern air shows is presented. A recognized authority on aviation history, pilot Philip Handleman is a film maker, photographer, and president of Handleman Filmworks.

Philip Handleman has been an active pilot since the early 1970s, and he owns and flies two planes with military history, including a biplane primary trainer from World War II. In 1973, he volunteered in Israel during the Yom Kippur War. In addition to his flying experience, Handleman has written more than twenty books on the history of aviation. In April 2008, he was presented the prestigious Harriet Quimby Award for his contributions to the history of flight through his writing and photography. He lives in Birmingham, Michigan, with his wife, Mary.
