First of its Kind for Wide-Body Airbus Aircraft,
By A Customer
This review is from: Airbus Wide-Bodied Jetliners: A300s, A310s, A330s and A340s (Osprey Civil Aircraft) (Paperback)
I've read Mr. Shaw's books now for many years, and he rarely puts out a stinker. This is actually published by Osprey Aviation and is part of their Civil Aircraft Series.Quality of the book, writing and photos is very high. Each chapter covers a different Airbus widebody and begins with text desribing the design and customers that bought it. The book is full of high quality photos of aircraft during production and flying the line. If you're interested in airliners in general, or Airbus widebodies specifically, this one is for you!
