Description

NEWLY REVISED. Thought provoking, inspirational, and whimsical stories, about the Dream of Flight with dozens of my beautiful illustrations of the greatest flying machines. Now over 400 pages with the addition of my character driven action packed screenplay about one of the Air Force's first woman fighter pilots and the fabled F-15E Strike Eagle. An incredible value!!!!!

The Dream of Flight - The Triumph of the Human Spirit and Imagination. A collection of thought provoking, inspirational, and whimsical stories beautifully illustrated with dozens of large sized prints of the greatest flying machines of all time. 158 pages (best viewed in book view and full page mode).

Since humankind first looked to the heavens and watched a bird soar among the clouds the dream of flight has lifted our spirit, driven our curiosity, advanced our technology, and shaped our understanding of who we are.

As much as any dream, the dream of reaching the sky and the heavens beyond has moved the course of human development and stretched the bounds of our understanding. Achieving the dream is among humanities most towering achievements.

The Secret Life of Flying Machines is not just for those who love airplanes but for anyone who shares the dream within all of us to reach beyond who we are in search of what we can be.

Special Bonus offer: with a purchase of the book receive a high-resolution version of any of the illustrations by emailing to zb@zoomerboomer.com.

Double Bonus offer: With a purchase of the book receive a 25% discount on archival quality prints at zoomerboomer.com.

Thank you for reading, viewing, and sharing The Secret Life of Flying Machines. I hope you enjoy.

I am overwhelmed and grateful for the wonderful response. In appreciation I have just updated the Secret Life of Flying Machines with an entire added section based on my powerful character driven action packed full length screenplay, "Wild Blue", about one of the first woman fighter pilots to fly the fabled F-15E Strike Eagle, the most capable and lethal fighter plane in the world today. With over 400 pages that includes dozens of stunning illustrations created by me; a full length screenplay; and all of the other stories from the original version, The Secret Life of Flying Machines is truly an incredible value. If you love aviation and the dream of flight, you have to get this book. Thank you again for all your support. ZB P.S. You can go to the end of the preview to read an excerpt from "Wild Blue".

RE: bradhoemann1262 comment below. Naturally I appreciate all comments. Not sure how much more or what I can add that will give people a better idea of what they are getting: examples of some of the illustrations I did (which I think are pretty good) and some stories about flight. I love the whole idea of flight. I think it goes deep into our psyche. Between the illustrations, quotes, and my little stories and observations I hope to convey a small part of my sense of it. I welcome any observations. Needless to say I am very pleased at the really good response I have gotten. zb
