June 25 - Los Aviones y El Rey

Carlos Varrenti published his book 'Los Aviones y El Rey' ('The Planes and The King'). The 198-page Spanish hardcover book documents Elvis' link to planes, including his own airplanes like the Lisa Marie and Hound Dog II'. 

Mr. Vanetti is currently working on an English translation due for late 2021.

Synopsis:

As an Aeronautical Engineer, and a big fan of Elvis Presley, I always wanted to write a book about The King and his airplanes. Ever since my very first visit in Graceland, back in 2001, I've been extremely intrigued by Elvis' history with his own airplanes, and his link to aeronautics in general. 

His impressive airplanes, exhibited at Graceland as testimonies his stardom, made me realize that there was a story to be told. And boy, what a great story it was!

This is how, for several years, every little detail, every short paragraph in a book, every short video, every photograph, every little note or information related to Elvis and his airplanes was marked and added to my personal archive. After a few years I had enough material to write the story behind The king and his planes, combining my two passions. 

This book is written for fans of Elvis, people interested in planes and aeronautics in general. Fans who want to know more about Elvis' bond with his airplanes, or in-depth details behind the hidden and enigmatic aeronautical facets of Elvis Presley and his planes. 

The book is available through Carlos R. Ares Argentinian Elvis Shop: Elvis.shop@gmail.com
