Air to Air II is the second in a pictorial series by Paul Bowen showcasing his work as an aviation photographer.

Bowen's career in aerial photography began in 1972 and he is credited with over 450 magazine covers and countless advertising campaigns. As can be seen in this volume, he travels wherever he needs to go to get the perfect shot.
Included in this stunning volume are images of both modern and vintage aircraft, and forewords by aerobatics champion Patty Wagstaff and aviator Clay Lacy.
