"Cities from the Sky, An Aerial Portrait of America features over 125 classic photographs that together form a definitive portrait of America's urban landscape. Taken by the intrepid photographers of the Fairchild Aerial Survey company over a five-decade span, these lavishly reproduced images provide a sparkling record of our cities in the boom years of the twentieth century. Charged by company founder and legendary American industrialist, aviator, and inventor Sherman M. Fairchild to document nearly every corner of the United States, the Fairchild photographers produced maplike shots taken from high altitude along with low-angle, raking views that depict landmark buildings and news events in stunning detail."--Jacket.
