Airstream
: The History of the Land Yacht by Bryan Burkhart, David Hunt
Sleek and shiny, Airstream trailers have been turning heads on the
highways since they first started caravanning across America in the
1930s. These "aluminum skinned, gleaming silver bullets" are currently
enjoying a revival in popularity. Praised for their clean lines and timeless
aesthetic, movie stars and design buffs are snapping up these vintage beauties.
Airstream-equal parts travelogue, cultural history, and biography of Wally
Byam, Airstream's charismatic inventor-celebrates the trailer's enduring
appeal as an icon of simple, aerodynamic living. A dazzling array of images
tell the story of how Byam, the father of modern trailer travel, created
less a product than an entire culture. From the Eiffel Tower to the pyramids
of Giza, from the Acropolis to the Golden Gate Bridge,
Airstream caravans continue to travel to the far reaches of the
earth. Amazing hotographs from theAirstream archives document this metallic
nomad's significant place in the history of design, from its streamlined
origins to its current vogue. Airstream has always been synonymous with
the freedom of the open road. Today the dream lives on. Amazon.com Paperback - 144 pages (May 15, 2000)
