Wings by Mark Meyer and Chuck Yeager

Mark Francis Meyer was born on August 3, 1948. His photo-journalist career began as a stringer for hometown newspapers when he was a high school student in Smyrna, Delaware and spanned the years and miles of geography to stints in the Soviet Union and other parts of the world for Time Magazine.

In 1977, he was assigned to the White House Press Corps from Time's Washington Bureau. His photographs from the USSR were widely published in the Time-Life "Library of Nations" Series in 1984. That same year, Mark's first book "Wings" was published with an introduction by General Chuck Yeager and contained air-to-air, cockpit and ground photographs representing all the major commands of the U.S. Air Force. Printed here is a collection of aviation photographs that is unique in its range, comprehensiveness, and artistic quality. This work is a remarkable achievement in a technically demanding, high-speed environment.

Mark Meyer often refers to the airplanes as "flying objects of art". His images demonstrate why. the pictures in WINGS are an exciting addition to both aviation art collections and to private library collections. Chuck Yeager helped to shape and enhance the performance of every aircraft that appears in this book and and his introduction is wonderful reading.

If you enjoy stunning photography of America’s modern military aircraft, this large format book is a necessity.
