Wings of Wonder - a superb new book by Sporting Classics Senior Editor Dr. Lloyd Newberry. Dr. Newberry’s book narrates the thrilling adventures of three Cobb family generations on their island paradise of fishing and waterfowl hunting. The lifelike decoys they produced are some of the most highly sought after by collectors and historians today. The number of their birds in the top 100 sales is second only to Elmer Crowell, and none of the Cobb decoys were decorative. But equally interesting are the many adventures that this family experienced for a century before a major hurricane put an end to it all.
Some five years in the making, Wings of Wonder features more than 400 beautiful full-color photographs of rare duck, goose, and shorebird decoys, in addition to many rare historical photographs of the early carvers.
