Erik Hildebrandt has outdone even himself by cracking the code of silence of the United States Air Force.  With more than 200 original color images made exclusively for this title, Hildebrandt was afforded unprecedented access to the newly formed USAF Heritage Flight Program This one-of-a-kind program consists of the current military demonstration pilots from the A-10 Warthog, the F-16 Falcon and the F-15 Eagle communities; as a unique twist, these demo teams are paired with one of 12 civilian pilots, each flying a vintage WW II or Korean era fighter.  The author's techniques for capturing these airborne subjects are praised by those in the business as some of the most innovative and creative methods that afford readers a true sense of being in the actual formation flight. 

Erik Hildebrandt is firmly established as one of the most resourceful and innovative creators of world-class aviation imagery. Far more than simply pictures of planes, Erik's photographs are an illustrious combination of natural light, atmospheric conditions and of course aircraft.
