Los Angeles International Airport (widely known just by its code, LAX) is one of the world's busiest international airports, ranking 6th in terms of passenger numbers. It houses hubs for American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways, and it accommodates the operations of a wide variety of other US airlines and international airlines from Asia, Europe, Latin and South America, and the Pacific region.All of us see aeroplanes from the ground - parked at airports, taking off, landing, climbing, descending, or cruising high above. But rarely do we see aeroplanes looking down on them from above. Such images are therefore rather unusual and strangely compelling. This book takes look at a selection of the aeroplanes that visit LAX, all of them seen from a rather unique and captivating aerial viewpoint.The book has 144 pages and includes stunning fully-captioned full-plate images (one per page) of the airlines and aircraft that regularly fly into LAX.

Growth on the flatlands along the western extents of Imperial Highway in the 1920s was once measured in beans, barley, and jackrabbits. After 2000, the site that became Los Angeles International Airport would be measured by the more than 60 million passengers and nearly two million tons of cargo passing through it each year. One of the world's busiest airports grew out of Mines Field and expanded quickly in the 1930s with the exploits of Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes and Will Rogers, Curtiss and Martin, and Boeing and Lockheed. After World War II, this large portion of coastal Los Angeles between El Segundo and Marina del Rey became the main airport for Greater Los Angeles. With the advent of the jet age in the town of the jet set, LAX became a nexus of international travel and a symbol of sophistication as the "Gateway to the World," a cutting-edge center for the overlapping spheres of aviation, business, politics, and entertainment.

A scintillating, fast-paced, winner-take-all confrontation between a fifth-generation rancher and a dashing, charismatic rogue out to get whatever he wants. Kate Clark was content with life on her Montana ranch, until she met billionaire playboy Jarrett Sinclair, a meeting that forever changed her life. Following in her father's footsteps, Kate wrangled cattle, bulldogged steers, and broke horses with the best of men. She had her life neatly laid out. She was going to marry her neighbor and acquire the remaining properties she needed to restore the family ranch to the largest in the state. Everything was going as planned until Sinclair received pictures of her swimming naked in a mountain lake. Overwhelmed by her beauty, Sinclair went after her with a passion. He lavished her with affection. Her life could not have been more exciting. At the same time, she got wind that an anonymous developer was scheming to break up her ranch for a colossal resort they sought to build. In her fight to save her ranch, Kate was forced to take on roles she never wanted while dealing with Sinclair's amorous advances and deteriorating health. Sinclair kept his identity as the developer secret as he quietly struggled with the ravages of CTE, a life-threatening football-related brain injury. While caring for Sinclair, Kate suddenly learned he owned the company bent on destroying her ranch. On discovering that, she was torn between abhorring him as the developer and comforting the gravely ill man she hopelessly loved.
