Customer Reviews

Airplane Fanatic...!!!

Aircrafts of all sizes operated by individual air carriers will very much love this book and must be among their aviation collection.

Very Informatinve and Great pictures and diagrams

This is a really good book for Airliner junkies. Great pictures and Lots of them! BUY IT!

Modern Aircraft

This is a great book for the lay person who desires more detailed information on aircraft. The book gives brief histories on all types of aircraft, cross sections of each aircraft, plus information on how jet engines function. A history of flight is given as well. A wonderful book for anyone interested in flight!

Outstanding Reference

This is what I dream about commercial aviation book! I have detaild deskription of each aircraft, technical data (although it's not a complete as I expected but it's okay), cutaway and three-view drawing. The articles are well written and very usefull and quite up to date on the date it published.Sadly, there's a minor but signifiant error on page 126, the article on that page was cut out half and wasn't finished. There's also some errors on the airlines section, which some photos and the caption are not correct. Despite of those mistakes, it was not reduce the value of this book.I also have the successor of this book (ISBN 0760311250), but it was quite dissapointing. I hope that the next edition will reverted into this format again.

Excellent addition to any Enthusiast's collection

This is an illustrated book with substance and very informative. Full of pictures and info about the fascinating aircrafts of the world, and has also the history of the foundation of the different airlines of the world and fleet data of every country which are covered in combination with pictures and section on orders, deliveries, numbers in service makes this book a must buy for any aircraft enthusiast.

An in-depth and up to date guide on Commercial Aircraft

This is an incredible reference to just about every commercial aircraft in the world. With superb color photographs, cut-out drawings of the major planes, and a great amount of info on the planes this is just about the best you can get in this subject. This jam-packed commercial aircraft encyclopedia even has special sections on the anatomy of a flight, the flight deck, the cabin and accomodation, design and manufacture, engine technology, future developments, and the major airlines. The reason why I feel that this book is so fantastic is the cut-out drawings that are so incredibly detailed and that show almost every tiny feature right down to the overhead compartments. I recommend this book to any airplane enthusiast and anyone who just wants to research airplanes and see the technology and details of them.
