Nice Accurate Pictures, but not a Detailed History,
By
This review is from: The Big Six US Airlines (Paperback)
This book was very different than I expected because I was looking for a good detailed history about all the major airlines, which this book was not. The history section was only about 2 pages long and the rest of the book was filled with pictures with detailed and accurate captions about the type of plane in the picture. This book left something to be desired for me.

This review is from: The Big Six US Airlines (Paperback)
I thought that this book did a very good job of presenting the history, background and operations of the 6 main U.S. carriers, overall a well-done book.
