Aerial photography held a special place in the business of a legendary airline. Before its founder entered the field of civil aviation, he trained behind the camera, and the carrier had a subsidiary company that continues today even though the airline itself ceased operations. This volume reproduces beautiful, striking images that reveal changes in landscapes and towns over nearly a century, documenting growth of infrastructure and urban sprawl as an idyllic agricultural country evolved into one of the most densely inhabited places in the world.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
