An excellent look at the original Boeing 737-100 and 200

The Airlife's Airliner series of books cover individual commercial aircraft types in an interesting, in-depth manner. Each volume of this British series covers a unique commercial aircraft type from its design, production, entry into service, its usage by airlines, and in some cases eventual demise. Each volume features plenty of color and black and white photographs of the subject aircraft along with a complete construction list (accurate to date of publication for aircraft types still being built).This volume of this excellent series covers my favorite two vairants of the Boeing 737 -- The Boeing 737-100 and 737-200.This volume provides a detailed history of the development of this airliner ... few who would have expected it to become the most popular commercial jetliner ever built ... with wonderful photos of the roll-out of the first 737-100 (which by the way will be on exhibit at the Seattle Museum of Flight in late 2004) along with the expected overview of most, if not all of this airliner's operators.
