AIRLINERS – THE FLAGSHIPS OF THE JET AGE

Published in 1981, ‘Airliners – Flagships of the Jet Age’ is a short roundup of the history of airliners. The text comprises an overview of the subject, followed by chapters covering different categories of airliners and concludes with an ill-judged look at the future of airline travel. This is supported by over 60 excellent colour photos and other illustrations. The age of the book means that this must be looked at in terms of nostalgia rather than it’s original intent, but it is well and intelligently written.
