This is a pretty nice book of photography of various shorelines and pretty scenery along with some birds, suitable as a coffee-table or inspirational book. One thing is that the book is a bit small - about 5 by 8 in? - and some of the photos only take half the page or less, so it can be hard to appreciate the details in some of them. On the flip side, this makes the book pretty easy to carry around unlike some other art/photography books which are quite large.
disappointing actually - obviously US-biased and some very important planes left out for no apparent reason; Stuka, Concord, Robinson R22, MiG 29, Hind and many others but planes such as Warthog and GeeBee, OK in their own place, but amongst top 100? Nah. And what the heck is with combining the Spitfire and Hurricane together but the P-51 gets it's own page??? Come on.
Subjective reading, but some great photos which would be the only reason I would recommend it to anyone.
A collection of photographs of authentic antique and classic airplanes, from the earliest pioneer days, to today's latest military and civilian planes
100 Planes 100 Years unfolds the evolution of aviation in a way never before seen. A stunning photograph of a plane for each year from 1900-2000 is portrayed through unique graphics showing silhouettes, multiple views, and action collages
