A companion to the CD and ABC documentary of the same name, Wingspan: Paul McCartney's Band on the Run is a photographic tribute to the ex-Beatle's 1970s band Wings, which also included the late Linda McCartney. The lush color and b&w photographs show the band on the road and in the studio, with plenty of shots of Paul and Linda working together, making eyes at each other and frolicking en famille. The pictures are interspersed with copious quotes from Paul. "My fridge had half a bottle of sour milk and a bit of dried cheese. Linda took the mickey out of me for that. The house was a bit of a tip, really, just a place to sleep, but when she arrived it became a place to live in."

Book Description
WINGSPAN is an intimate scrapbook charting how Paul McCartney's band, Wings, became one of the biggest selling acts of the 1970's with memorable hits like "Band on the Run," "My Love," "With a Little Luck," "Live and Let Die," "Junior's Farm," "Jet," and many others. At the same time, Paul and his wife, Linda, a fellow band member, were raising a family at home and on the road. This book is a personal record of Wings' beginnings after the break up of the world's most celebrated rock group, the Beatles, through to the 1980's. Apart from a unique insight into the dynamics of a hugely popular band and an extraordinary marriage, WINGSPAN brings back memories of some of the wonderful songs and how they were written, recorded and performed.
