This is the book about historic airplanes that are still alive. It is the stories of the machines and of the people who keep them flying. Complemented with unique aerial photographs of our Swedish veteran aircraft, the reader is taken on a dizzying journey up in the air - and through history. The book will tell the story of some 20 different historical aircraft types that are kept in the air. The selection will show the wide range and development of aviation, both at home and abroad. The book's appeal, layout and appearance should be attractive even to those who are not familiar with the subject. It should inform - and above all inspire. The book wants to contribute to attention and tailwind for Swedish veteran aviation. It will hopefully also be a "receipt" to all enthusiasts, that the activity is important and appreciated even in wider circles.
