Biography
Erik Hildebrandt
Aviation Photographer and Author of FLY NAVY: Celebrating the First Century of
Naval Aviation
Erik Hildebrandt is one of the nation's premier aviation photographers who
continues to pioneer new technologies and revolutionary techniques to capture
innovative aerial images. His 20-year career has earned him more than 200 hours
in military jet aircraft ranging from civilian air shows to military tactical
jets.
For the past two years, Hildebrandt has traveled the globe documenting the vast
universe of modern naval aviation. He has flown with deployed forces over
war-torn Afghanistan, through the tranquil skies over Hawaii with the Blue
Angels and practically everywhere in between
FLY NAVY vividly captures the excitement, power, motion and beauty of naval
aviation through remarkable photographs that tell the stories of each aircrew
and aircraft as readers ride along on incredible real-life missions. The book
showcases every aircraft currently flying for the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard as well as essays and artwork from such iconic figures as Barrett
Tillman, Sergei Sikorsky, Robert "Hoot" Gibson and Hank Caruso. FLY NAVY will be
released in March 2011.
In addition to FLY NAVY, Hildebrandt has authored seven, world-class coffee
table books on a variety of aviation subjects including the Front Row Center
series that follows the American air show circuit and Anytime, Baby!, a historic
volume chronicling the last six units ever to fly the U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcat.
Compelling Media Resource
Hildebrandt is an engaging and articulate resource for reporters, show hosts and
bloggers. He transports audiences to the cockpit of some of the most elite naval
aircraft with intense anecdotes from his experiences flying along with the naval
aviation community world wide.
Hildebrandt was born and raised on Long Island, not far from where Grumman built
the F-14 Tomcat. He describes his photography as an extension and expression of
his life, from documenting his childhood exploits to creating fashion portfolios
for models before ultimately realizing his dreams of aviation photography.
For more than 15 years, Hildebrandt has lived in a self-described state of total
immersion in the world of aviation and aviation photography. He is a
multi-engine rated private pilot and flies a 1968 Cessna
O-2A Skymaster that was formerly in service with the U.S. Air Force as a forward
air control aircraft.
Hildebrandt graduated from the State University of New York at Binghamton with a
Bachelor of Arts in American History in 1989. He lives with his wife, Christine,
and their two young boys in the rural countryside east of Minneapolis, Minn.

 Tomcat!
: The Grumman F14 Story
Paul T. Gillcrist
Hardcover / Published 1994
TOMCAT! The Grumman F-14 Story is an exciting oral history of the most
versatile air supremacy fighter in the world . . . much of it written
from the vantage point of the airplane's cockpit! Told in an anecdotal
format, this new book is richly marbled with the salt air of fleet
experience. Perhaps the F-14 program's greatest success is its overwhelming
acceptance by the youngsters in the fleet. Anecdotes about the Tomcat
legend abound . . . especially in the chapters devoted to its employment
by the fleet in the oceans of the world. Of particular interest are the
chapters dealing with the sale of Tomcats to Iran and the subsequent integration
of the airplane into Iran's armed forces. On-the-scene eye witness
accounts provide a unique perspective of this fascinating aspect of the
Tomcat story. TOMCAT! contains over 150 photographs, most in color
and never before published, and most of them taken by Tomcat aircrews with
hand-held cameras. These provide a fascinating backdrop for the oral history
contained in the book. This is not a garden variety history about an airplane.
It is a sometimes heart-stopping story of how a controversial airplane
finally made it into the hearts and minds of the fleet . . . after
stumbling at the starting gates of an outmoded defense acquisition system.
It is the story of the best air supremacy fighter in the world! Rear Admiral
Paul Gillcrist, USN (Retired), commanded a fleet fighter squadron on three
carrier combat deployments to the Tonkin Gulf during which he flew
167 combat missions over Vietnam. For these he was awarded seventeen combat
decorations. In his thirty-three year flying career as a fleet pilot
and Navy test pilot as well, he flew 71 different U.S. and foreign tactical
airplanes including the U.S. Air Force's F-104, F-105, F-106, F-15,
F-16, YF-17 and F-20. He flew the Navy's F-4, F-5, F-8, F-11, F-14 and
F/A-18 as well as several key foreign tactical airplanes. During
his carrier flying career, which spanned an amazing twenty-seven years,
he commanded a fighter squadron, a carrier air wing and was the wing commander
for all Pacific Fleet fighter squadrons. He flew from sixteen carriers,
and in his last flying assignment accumulated over four hundred flight
hours in the Tomcat culminating, at age 51, in becoming the first
flag officer to land the Tomcat on an aircraft carrier - the U.S.S. KITTYHAWK
on 21 October 1980. The author of FEET WET, Reflections of a Carrier
Pilot, Admiral Gillcrist is eminently qualified to write the F-14 story!,

From
the Wright Brothers to top gun : Aviation, Nationalism and Popular Cinema
by Michael Paris
Paperback
218 pages (July 1995)
The cinema and aviation developed alongside each other,
and were both products of the technology and imagination of the early 20th
century. This book examines the ways in which aeroplanes and flying have been
portrayed in the many different genres within popular cinema, from Hollywood
epics to comedy spoofs to modern tragedies. It covers over 500 American and
British films, including, "The Dambusters", "The High and the Mighty",
"Airplane", "Top Gun" and "The Shadowmakers". The study argues that the basic
themes of the aviation film were established in the 1920s, through such
Hollywood epics as "Wings" and "Hell's Angels", and that the portrayal of
aviation has changed little between those early features and contemporary films.
Tha author also examines the way in which aviation films have been used to
create a dynamic national image and promote technological achievement and
national Endeavour.

Color & Markings Vol. 2 |
Jeff,
Hope your day is going well. Your website is the best CV-63 and VF-114 site
I have seen, but I am trying to get in touch with my shipmates from the
77-78 cruise. I was a plane captain for VF-114 and based at
Miramar with the Aardvarks. Any suggestions on sites or resources to
find some old buddies.
