Revisit the Air Show!
Just got this press release from the Library, for an event promoting a great new foto book on Dayton Air Shows past by two friends of mine … Ty Greenlees, one of our great DDN photographers, and Tim Gaffney, the retired aviation writer who covered them for years… This is a terrific book.
Here’s the event:
Revisit more than 20 years of Ohio’s biggest annual aviation event with the creators of the book The Dayton Air Show: A Photographic Celebration. Newspaper reporter Timothy Gaffney and photographer Ty Greenlees have covered the air show together for many years, and compiled their stories and photographs into this commemorative book. They will discuss the book and their years of air show experiences at the Dayton Metro Library on Saturday, Aug. 16, at 1:00 p.m. The library is located at 215 E. Third Street in downtown Dayton.
Ty Greenlees is an award-winning photojournalist for the Dayton Daily News and a licensed pilot with airplane and helicopter ratings. He has photographed the Dayton Air Show as a journalist since 1985, and privately since childhood. Tim Gaffney is a professional writer, author of 12 books, and a licensed private pilot. He was the aviation writer for the Dayton Daily News from 1985 until his retirement in 2006. He is now a Vectren Dayton Air Show trustee.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the program, which is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Dayton Metro Library’s Community Relations office at 496-8901.
