Voltigeurs!, Fabrice Camliti, Gilles Bordes-Pagès

There are few books dedicated to aerobatics. Perhaps because this extreme sport is too difficult to photograph, and undoubtedly because opportunities to witness these captivating spectacles are rare. "Voltigeurs!" approaches this high-level sport from an aesthetic angle, with spectacular in-flight photographs, allowing the admiration of the planes' trajectories and figures, their vibrant colours, and their smoke trails during airshows, competitions, or sometimes simple ferrying flights. "Voltigeurs!" is the first photographic book dedicated to one of the most renowned teams in the world, the French Air Force aerobatic team (EVAA), its missions, its flights, and its behind-the-scenes. It is also, and above all, a moving, meticulous, and intimate testimony to these extraordinary men whose job it is to defy the laws of gravity every day in order to better master them, and this for our greatest pleasure.
