The Air World - Design and Architecture for Air Travel by

"Air World - Design and Architecture for Air Travel" celebrates the aesthetic of the golden age of air travel, a time when flying still retained something of the attraction of the unusual. This book also presents some of the most convincing and visionary projects of today.

The catalogue has approximately 250 pages and more than 400 illustrations - and it fits in your carry-on luggage. The nine essays focus on topics like the history of air cabin design, the corporate design of airlines, uniform fashion, the graphics of air travel posters, and the significant role that aviation played as an inspiration for architecture, design, and art up to the present day.
