Direction of Travel: Volume 7

Volume 7 of Direction of Travel explores the world of artists, photographers, writers and fellow fliers. We begin with Laird Kay’s photographs from the factory where Gulfstream assembles its private jets. From there, we head to Boston Logan to explore the work Michael Philip Manheim made in the early 1970s, documenting the impact the airport had on the local community. There are always consequences when major infrastructure projects collide with the people who live near them. We then join Maggie Oran on a bicycle trip as she circumnavigates Berlin’s “new” airport.

We visit airports in Asia with renowned Canadian photographer Greg Girard, and continue the exploration of flight with Danish artist Morten Barker and his aerial photographs of Denmark. In between, there’s also a section for kids, pages meant to be decorated – preferably extensively.

Towards the end, we ask a number of people about airline routes that mean something special to them, and we hear about LHR–IST, MUC–IAD, SFO–ORY, and many others. The world of flying is rich and incredibly complex, which is why it remains so endlessly fascinating to so many people.

Direction of Travel is a magazine about the culture of flying. The latest Volume comes in a new size with new maps and new stories. Eighty pages packed with stories that explore the culture of flying. Welcome onboard.
