The vintage heyday of American pinups is presented here in full view, with a modern flare and that unique Alvarado touch.

Military-uniform- and gear-clad models featured with classic combat aircraft--from the WWII P-51 Mustang and Spitfire to the Vietnam-era F-4 Phantom jet to the present day--hint at the lure of Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas's vintage pin-up art.

Fun and sexy in-studio poses are shown in full dynamic color as Alvarado's noted lighting and photo-editing techniques make each image jump off the page.

A tribute to military service arms worldwide, this new look at an old tradition is the latest in Alvarado's series of pin-up books.
