THE AVIATION AND AEROSPACE ALMANAC, Edited by Richard Lampl / Aviation Week

Review written by H.N. Boyer, Delaware County Community College

The tenth anniversary edition continues this work's tradition of excellence with improvements in many areas. Designed for aviation executives, marketing professionals, and aviation analysts, it also contains information of interest to general aviation enthusiasts. A new 41-page index provides an accurate point of entry to a plethora of aviation names, numbers, and facts describing the condition of civilian and military aviation worldwide. Of particular interest are the specifications for every civil and military aircraft, missile, space vehicle, and electronic warfare system currently in production. Politics is given good treatment with information about the Department of Defense, selected Congressional committees, and aviation special interest groups. "Federal Aviation Administration Forecast" describes the recent history of commercial aviation and attempts to forecast its future.

The definitive reference work on aviation today, this almanac will find heavy use among aviation professionals, the aviation business community, and college and university libraries. Highly recommended. (Choice 20020401)

This review is from: The Aviation and Aerospace Almanac (Paperback)

This was an excellent book, but now many of the figures are outdated. Written before 9/11 and when oil was less than $15 a barrel. Aircraft types, fleet mixes, costs of ownership and flight crew costs have all altered. Utilization figures and APM and RPM are all changed now. Its nice to know what TWA fleet costs were perhaps but the book really needs an updated edition.
