Another volume that will teach you a
lot about aviation photography is the
late James Gilbert’s, The Great Planes.
This is not a serious work of history
and it doesn’t pretend to be. This is a
coffee table book full of wonderful
photographs. I’ve seen it available at
reasonable prices and it’s well worth
adding it to your library.

Let’s finish this article with my favourites; the Harleyford books. The range of titles is
extensive. I just purchased a further six titles, from museum stocks, for my collection
and I’m thrilled to bits. For me they’re a reminder of a time long gone. I wouldn’t call
them “the good old days”, but it was a time when everything was new and exciting.
Maybe I’m just getting a little nostalgic as I get older.
