The biannual Warbirds over Wanaka airshow attracts up to 100,000 visitors every two years. An idea originated by pioneer Tim Wallis, the show is world-renowned and as a consequence attracts pilots and their aircraft and visitors with an interest in aviation, military history, machinery of old from all over the world.

This book is the official record of the events at the show, both those on the ground and in the air. The photographers are experienced in their chosen fields, whether it be photographing aircraft on the ground, in the air, the myriad fascinating land-bound machinery such as the classic tractors and fire-engines, or portraits of the military manouvres that are re-enacted over the weekend. As well as a record of the mighty machines that swamp the Wanaka airfield during Easter weekend, it is a record of the people that contribute, organize and visit New ZealandÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs most popular aviation event on the calendar.
