Editorial Reviews

Product Description:

Boeing and Airbus may dominate today’s commercial aircraft market, but there are dozens of smaller manufacturers producing excellent airplanes to service short- and medium-distance routes. Dozens of these commercial aircraft—from the immortal Douglas DC-3 to the unrivaled Boeing 747—are covered here, along with business jets, leisure aircraft, and police and firefighting aircraft from around the world. 600 color and archival black-and-white photographs are included.

Great Pictures, but several mistakes by Jen
I recently purchased this book and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It provides good history and great pictures, but in the technical data, there are tons of mistakes in the conversion from the metric system to the imperial system. For example in comparing the range between two aircraft, one aircraft has a longer range than the other when looking at the range in kilometers, but it is the other way around when looking at miles. The other complaint is that the book leaves out several aircraft which have been around for a while when this book was published, for example the 777 and A340.
