Warbirds over Wanaka

The biennial Warbirds over Wanaka pageant, which started in 1988, is now billed as one of the world’s greatest warbird airshows. This poster for the 2000 airshow conveys the nostalgic appeal of such events, which combine aerial displays, aerobatics, mock dogfights and other re-enactments that bring aviation history to life.
