~Salute!~ All,

Last November I received an email from longtime aviation author Steve Pace whom expressed interest in my photography work which he was seeking to place within some of the photo sections of his next book "Mustang - Thoroughbred Stallion of the Air", due to be released on September 1st, 2012. Three of my photos have made it into the book, one of which was personally nominated by the author to be selected as the front cover but was turned down by the authors. This is my first work to be published, and this wouldn't have happened without the generous support of my friends, family, my buddies in the 78th Fighter Group, and those of you who complimented on my work. It was this support that keeps me at what I enjoy to do, and for this, words simply do not describe my thankfulness for all of it. I am truly overwhelmed from the amount of support I have received over the past few years, and now its finally come full circle. My apologies for the long-winded letter, I'll cut to the chase of what you guys and gals want to see.

Once again, thank you so much.

Blue Skies, Happy Landings, Thank you.

-78thFG_Doodle, Mitchell Babarovich.

Here's the cover of the book, with more information: 8x10 inches; hardbound; dust jacket; 224 pages; 200 photos


One of my three photos that are inside it (bottom picture), this one is within the color section. The other two are in monochrome and are located in other sections of the book.

Good show Mitch, Congratulations!

Well done a great shot.

And well he should show interest in your photos; you do really fine work! Would it be possible to see the photo that didn't make the cover?

That photo that I'm holding is the one that didn't make the cover.

Congratulations. Seeing your stuff in print is awesome.

I look forward to seeing more.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Best,

Thanks guys! Words just aren't enough to say thank you.

An update as promised, from my Facebook.

A very stupendous, and something that caught me totally by surprise. I received an email from Steve Pace, the author of the book in which my three of my photos have been published in. Here is the cover from back to front, and little did I know that TWO of my photos are on the back of the book cover. WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My photos are circled in black.
