Aviation Classics\"Reno Air Racing Unlimited\"Nigel Moll 1983Original Book and \"Reno Gold\"Philip Wallick 1989 First EditionBook!

This is a fantastic combination of Rarely available advanced Aviation Photography books with stunning full colour photographs!

Professional Aviation Photography really came into its own in the 1980s and 1990s as aviation photographers defined the Art of Professional Aviation Photographyand its Techniques, and found they could finally make a career for themselvesphotographingAircraft in their fast; harsh and beautifulEnvironments.

Both of these books contain amazing doublepagespreads and are beautifullywritten. Theyarefrom my private library, and have been stored,never displayed,and viewed less than 5 times each. My library was precious to me.

This is a very restricted opportunityin time and availabilityto acquire thesemagnificent \'historical books\' of aviationliterary significance, from true pioneers of professional aviation photography.

\'An Ode to the Reno Pilots\' from\"Reno Gold\"


A saddle on a motor, burning dynamite for gas,With as little lifting surface, as will hike it off the grass.3,000 leaping horses, with a feather for a girth,500 mile per hour, 50 feet above the earth.The breed of man who rides her, is an optimistic guy,With magic in his fingers, and a telescopic eye.....
