The first jacket I photographed, which became the genesis for the book.
Hello Folks! Recently I was asked to discuss how the Bomber Boys book came about...so I created a video that explains it all, and where we'd like to go with it. It's about 23 minutes long, but should answer most, if not all, of your questions as to "how it all began."
Enjoy!
