Classic Civil Aircraft Guide: From 1920 to 1964 Book

The Classic Civil Aircraft Guide gives the reader a clear picture of the transformation of civil aircraft and the transport of passengers and freight since the days of wood and canvas aircraft. Each aircraft featured is accompanied by a full specification table giving dimensions, performance, and PowerPoint, with all weights and measures in both imperial and metric.

Each of the aircraft included in The Classic Civil Aircraft Guide is represented by a superb three-view color artwork, allowing the reader to trace the design and development of civil aircraft but massive propeller-driven transports gave way to the sleek, fast jet airliners such as the VC10, Comet and Boeing 707.

The Classic Civil Aircraft Guide is a highly accessible reference guide to the most innovative passenger and freight aircraft of the twentieth century. Lavishly illustrated, it is an essential addition to any aviation book collection, both for the aviation historian and layman alike.
