Tyson V. Rininger

Thanks for checking out my books. While I'm fortunate to have become an author, my foremost job is that of an aviation photographer. I've always felt more comfortable with a camera in my hands than a pen. My writing experience began in high school working on the school paper. College ensued and my fear of writing lengthy stories subsided. MotorBooks, Intl. contracted me initially for calendars and eventually moved on to more complex historical books, my first being "Red Flag: Air Combat for the 21st Century" followed by "F-15 Eagle at War". Combining my love of photography with the necessity of writing and sharing the finished product is no doubt difficult through publishing houses, therefore portfolios and smaller works have found there way to market through print-on-demand houses like Blurb. When not writing or photographing aircraft, I can be found on the wing of a trusty biplane named 'Ol Smokey, performing as a wing-walker at air shows with pilot, Walt Pierce and fellow wing-walking partner, Jenny Forsythe for American Barnstormers & the Double Trouble Wing Walking Team.
