aviation art for collectors
I have just recently decided to collect aviation art, after spending 43 years as an aeronautical engineer for a major aircraft manufacturer. Books such as these and calandars af the same provide a very economical method of doing this, especially since my walls are full of other artwork and these items take up very little space and/or volume. These books are very worthy of my collecting and I am very happy to have found them. I will continue to collect additional items of this nature in the future.
