Probably the best categorized aviation directory, but not always the best aviation websites.
The popularity of websites seems not to count, it just has the biggest airlines, the biggest manufacturers etc.

The directory has pretty much everything about commercial aviation, but for example there is no military category.

You can find some real highlights, even in the long lists of "bookmarkables". Still...every webmaster can be proud when he finds his website in this reference.

This books cuts to the quick. This books lists all the good aviation sites. A little dated and its been out for a couple of years, but still a great quick reference.

DO NOT buy this book. This book would have been a great resource in it's day. The information would have been fantastic to have in one place with continuous updates. However, the vast majority of the information in this book is no longer valid now and completely unusable and the updates ended many years ago. Even the update site is no longer up and running. Save your money and just use your search engine on the internet.

When this book was published in 2001 I'm sure it was a great source of information. Now it's a great source of frustration. The vast majority of the sites listed are no longer active. Do not believe the "updated online" tease in the upper right corner. The website for the book no longer exists! This book should go out of print and never return.

Overall the books provides usefull Aviation sites on the web. However, many of the best sites in Aviation are not published in this book. I would wish I saved the money I spent.

Aviation is one of the most active topics in cyberspace. Fly through the thousands of web offerings to the ones that have the information you want with this categorized guide to the best sites available to meet your needs. Witty and concise descriptions tell you what you'll find -- and what you won't. This book's been around since "100 Best..." and it just keeps getting better as it gets bigger.
