Fantastic photos! A great taste of history.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Airliners at LAX: Los Angeles International Airport 1956-1976 (Hardcover)
I am a child of the seventies. I also am a great fan of commercial aviation, and have travelled a lot. Therefore, appreciating the beauty of airplanes has become a great passion of mine. However, I know little about the great propeller aircraft before the age of jets. This book allowed me to learn about some of the wonderful planes of the fifties and sixties that were eventually replaced by jets. And all this was done in the language of my soul, pictures. I relate much better to pictures than words when trying to capture the beauty of any domain where one's eyes dominate (such as is the case with airlplanes). I urge anyone who is a passionate airplane fan like myself, and who would like to learn a little about pre-jet aviation to buy this book.

so-way-fabby!,
By Jarred Olssen (West Hollywood, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Airliners at LAX: Los Angeles International Airport 1956-1976 (Hardcover)
what a glorious showcasing of the world's PREMIER plane-spotting airport! Although some fabulous spotting can be had today, AIRLINERS AT LAX recalls the halcyon, diverse days when so many unique paint schemes could be seen as a matter of daily standard at LAX! Informative, descriptive, and simply delightful--a trip back into time!
