"Mike Sroka's photographs of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds give you that same chill-up-your-spine feeling of awe that you get while watching the Snowbirds perform their amazing feats of acrobatic magic. But more than that, his photographs tell the story behind the scenes off all the devoted men and women who make up the team, making the Canadian Forces Snowbirds the pride of all Canadians. Mike Sroka's attention to detail and unique approach to aviation photography makes this collection of photographs one of the finest you will ever come across." – Anita Dammer, Editor in Chief, Photo Life Magazine

“The photos are extraordinary and the writing exceptional.” – Caroline Sheen, Photo Editor, Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine

"A high-flight dream book that’s very well done." – Globe and Mail

"His stunning shots were hard won… " – Vancouver Sun

"I have seen almost every book on military aerobatic teams published in the last 50 years. This book is one of the very best. At last, there is a book that is worthy of the Snowbirds." – Amazon UK Review

" His photographs are breathtaking, often exhibiting a surreal quality and a point-of-view never before seen. It’s a must-have book." – Calgary Herald

"Snowbirds shows us all what it takes to put this elite, high-precision flying team in the air. As he traveled and flew with them across North America, Sroka found the heart and soul of the elite team, as is documented in the flawless photographs that soar from the pages of Snowbirds." – Aviation World
