Description
Adam Tooby is a rising star in the field of aviation art, creating groundbreaking photorealistic work. His artwork currently graces the new range of Airfix model boxes, and he is producing covers for the well-known military publisher Osprey. Moving away from traditional approaches to the subject matter, he uses computer technology to produce both technically accurate and visually dynamic images of some of the greatest military aircraft in history.
Warbirds features stunning images of aircraft in action, from the First World War to recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and from around the world, including the iconic Spitfire, the popular P-51 Mustang, and the unusual Javelin. Some of the images have been produced exclusively for the book, while others have previously appeared in aviation history publications and on the covers of Airfix boxes. With step-by-step sequences as well as historical context, aviation enthusiasts, military historians, and artists will be enthralled.
In addition to Adam Tooby, Steve White, a senior comics editor, non-fiction and fiction author, and artist in his spare time, contributes his expertise. His interests include military history (particularly aircraft), marine biology (especially sharks), and paleontology.
