Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A book full of beatiful and impressive images of the most fantastic aircraft of all times. Very interesting historical accounts including a connection with the history of supersonic flight. As an engineer, ex-VARIG Airlines Maintenance I would like (obviously) to see more technical info, including drawings and schematics, but that is not the main scope of this nice work. Incidentally, it seems that a thorough public technical description of the aircraft, for aviation fans, is something missing in the literature. Considering that more than ten museums around the world have a real Concorde in their collections and certainly have acess to plenty of documentation on the machine, some of them could help producing such a book. Let's hope... Meanwhile, enjoy this book!

On January 21, 1976, the date of Concorde's first commercial flight, Air France and British Airways took air transport into the supersonic era. Suddenly, travelers could fly in luxury across the Atlantic in a matter of a few hours and faster than the speed of sound. This book provides an account of a prodigious aeronautical enterprise and of the technical and human exploits needed to ensure that this extraordinary aircraft, the outcome of exemplary European cooperation, saw the light of day. Photos of the iconic plane's exteriors, engineering, specs, interiors, details- even an oversized photo of the place setting served in first class - are reproduced on the highest quality paper to pay tribute to the plane synonymous with speed, luxury, and style. A must-have collectible edition for anyone who flew onthe Concorde or for any serious civil aviation enthusiast's library.
