Penthouse apartments are sought for the panorama; the Empire State Building and World Trade Center are jammed with vista-seekers; helicopters take travelers for the bird's-eye tour. None of these, however, can match the airplane for an unforgettable look at New York. Here, preserved in 68 sharp photographs, is the New York few see for more than an instant--a city spectacular from 5000 feet....Here, then is a unique guidebook to the urban geography of New York. Tourists and residents can trace their rambles; all will discover relative sizes and distances unclear or invisible to them before. City planners, photographers, historians, New Yorkers, all readers will thrill to their favorite city seen from the clouds." (back cover).
