Since the publication of the very popular first edition of Airliners Worldwide in 1997, there have been many changes to the fleets employed by the operators, and, of course, many of the illustrations... This description may be from another edition of this product.
It came out in 2005 its not out of date I think the other reviews were for an older edition
potent little reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Tom Singfield has crammed a lot of information and some very nice photos into this charming aviation hobbyist book.The aircraft are presented alphabetically. The general specs and history of each aircraft is given. Finally, a useful list of operators of the aircraft is provided. Singfield selected his photos with great care to emphasize the unique and distinctive identifying features of the aircraft. Among the curious aircraft variants photographed: a Basler turboprop DC-3, a DC-7 water bomber, and a "hushed" UPS 727-100.The book is very well constructed, with a solid stiff binding.
