You don't need a pair of wings to soar over the City of Angels! Tour Los Angeles like never before with this exciting new book filled with breathtaking sky-high then-and-now images of some of LA's most famous landmarks and locations. Take to the skies for an exhilarating bird's-eye view of LA in Los Angeles from the Air Then and Now.
  • Dazzling side-by-side aerial photographs reveal how the greater Los Angeles area--from the Valley to the Pacific--evolved from its humble agricultural roots to its glamorous modern incarnation.
  • Graze along the top of the Hollywood Hills, home to the iconic HOLLYWOOD sign. The sign originally spelled out HOLLYWOODLAND in 1923. It was a PR stunt launched by a local real estate developer, but proved so popular most of the sign is still standing today.
  • Discover the diamond views over Dodger Stadium. While the ballpark's general appearance hasn't changed much since it was completed in 1962, the ballpark and its surrounding area got its own zipcode in 2008, now known as “Dodgertown.”
  • Fly over Bel Air after the devastating forest fire of 1960 and discover Beverly Hills in 1922 just as the area was being subdivided. A lot has changed over the years in these exclusive enclaves.
  • Take in all the sights, including Grauman's Chinese Theater, the Brown Derby, Olympic Stadium, and Santa Monica Pier.
