“As an Aeronautical Engineer, and a huge Elvis Presley fan, I have always wanted to write a book on planes and the King. Ever since my first visit to Graceland in 2001, I have been intrigued by Elvis' history with his aircrafts and his link to aeronautics in general. Looking at those impressive flying machines, exhibited at Graceland as a testimony of the greatness of the Artist of the Century, led me to believe that there was more behind this story. And there was!
After several years of collecting every little detail, every short paragraph, every video, every photograph and everything else related to Elvis and his planes, I was able to write the story of my two great passions: Elvis Presley and Aeronautics”.
This book is intended both for fans of the King, who want to learn more about this unknown facet of Elvis, as for aviation fans who are interested in Elvis’ link with the exciting world of aeronautics.”
The original 198-page Spanish reference book ‘Los Aviones Y El Rey’ was translated into English and expanded to 400 pages with hundreds of pages containing information and pictures about Elvis and his planes.
This new edition contains all the technical details on the planes that Elvis has used and owned from 1956 to 1977 and “illustrated” with fascinating stories from Elvis' musicians, friends and family, and relevant photos from Erik Lorentzen’s collection. This topic has never been covered before, and that makes this book unique in its approach and content. The foreword was written by Elvis expert and author Carlos R. Ares.
This is the version Carlos Varrenti originally envisioned when he wrote ‘Los Aviones Y El Rey’. Take a seat, buckle up for an unforgettable flight!
