• A beautifully presented, two-volume collection of photographic pinup art
• Includes high-quality photographs of the most endeared aircraft of World War II
• Vintage pinup style in homage to legendary artists Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas
A beautifully presented, two-volume collection, uniquely chronicling the story and history of
the most recognizable aircraft of WorldWar II and the pinup girls whose images graced these
legendary warbirds. Flying into combat with our boys, inspiring and providing our U.S. soldiers
with sweetly seductive reminders of home, these pinups are a reminder of the All-American
good life GIs were fighting for. For the first time, Michael Malak has merged classic 1940s style
Hollywood photographs in black and white and sepia recreations for the vintage-minded, as
well as full color HDR (High Dynamic Range) photographs for the modern art lover. This book
takes the viewer through the history of these magnificent warbirds and the role they played in
World War II, and provides detailed, factual information about each of them courtesy of the
Yanks Air Museum, home of these exquisite warbirds. Several world renowned pinup artists
of today, such as Greg Hildebrandt, have contributed their time and talent to take part in this
project, providing original artwork for
Wings of Angels
, in the tradition of legendary pinup
artists Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas.
Michael Malak is a well known professional
photographer and artist, specializing in 1940s style
Hollywood glamour photography and WWII pinup
photographic recreations. Michael currently resides in
Southern California with his family.

The Travel Trailer in America

• The history and development of travel trailers from the early 20th century into the 1960s
• Exteriors and interiors of classic travel trailers
• See vintage trailer neighborhoods that will completely change your view of trailer parks
Buckle up for a trip back to the days of the classic travel trailers, from the 1910s through
the 1960s. Over 260 brilliant color photos capture these original homes-away-from-
home in all their details, including views of their interiors. The informative text provides
details of the travel trailer’s rise, which was fueled by both improving automobiles and
roadways. Once the “everyman” had a car and a road, he bought a trailer and took the
family camping. Beginning in 1880, horse drawn caravans were used to get away from
home. However, when caravans were hitched to cars, the travel trailer was born. “Tin
Can Tourism” was all the rage by the 1920s. Shown here are many of the sweet results of
trailer camping over the decades, including early tent trailers, Hammer Blow’s honeymoon
trailer, the Zeppelin-shaped Road Chief, the ever popular Airstream, and many more. To
sweeten the deal, these trailers are shown with some wonderful classic cars.
Arrol Gellner is an architect, longtime nationally syndicated columnist, and author
of three books. He maintains offices near San Francisco and in Suzhou, China. Douglas
Keister is an internationally renowned photographer who has photographed, authored,
and co-authored forty-one critically acclaimed books. He lives in Chico, California.
