BEST PRACTICES for AIRCRAFT BLOCK ALPHABET MARKING and LETTERING.

An essential design reference for classic aircraft painters and restorers, this comprehensive guide by Skyway Sign and Design (SkywaySign.com) is a long-overdue study of the angled-corner alphabet markings that identified generations of American aircraft. This isn’t just “a” book about vintage aircraft lettering, it is THE book.

Explore this lettering tradition from a visual designer’s perspective. Packed with over 30 pages of sample alphabets, reference drawings, design and layout tips, highly-opinionated commentary, and interesting historical context, it’s a must-have resource for anyone interested in learning about or creating well-designed vintage aircraft markings. Included are several master number and letter references that are visually consistent, historically appropriate, and suitable for nearly any vintage American aircraft, and look better than many of the current “aircraft” fonts often seen today.

Once you read this book, you’ll never see vintage aircraft markings the same way again! Includes detailed advice about laying out and masking large wing numbers on vintage aircraft.
