Interesting book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is a fascinating book full of wonderful photos as well as interesting text that chronicles the development and evolution of most of the modern airliners in our skies today, as well as also covering many of the older planes no longer flown.In addition to covering many of the well known planes, it also has sections on fascinating planes that never made it to commercial release (such as the Bristol Brabazon).The only complaint I have, and the reason for four rather than five stars, is that while Mellberg's book is excellent, it is far from complete, and its slim 220 or so pages (almost one half being photos) could easily double or triple in size by adding more complete coverage and of more planes.Let's hope that the author is working on a second volume! :)
Best book on history of airliner's I've seen!

Bill Mellberg has once again written a book that makes a sometimes complicated topic accesible to everyone.
