DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book is aimed at that ever-growing marketplace. It will appeal both to aviation enthuisasts and those who have a more general interest in the subject. The book provides exactly what it says on the box: 1000 photographs of civil airliners of all types, large and small, photographed all over the world in recent years, in a multiplicity of markings. Each picture is accompanied by a detailed caption with information about the type of airliner shown, the individual aircraft portrayed, the airline which flies it, and the location where the photograph was taken. The result is a wide-ranging and comprehensive guide to world civil aviation today. The photographs reflect the ever-changing liveries employed by the airlines for image and marketing purposes, and the many and varied types of aircraft seen in the book's pages range from the latest types and variants of well-known jet liners to ancient propliners which are still in service in some parts of the world, but consigned to aviation museums in others.
