This is a mini encyclopedia of Boeing Jetliners. It provides coverage from the 707 to the 777 (the 777-300 is a future product for the book) including the requirements that led to the design of each, design considerations, all the variants, civil and military, and unique features of each. This is a nice historical reference anytime you want to know more about a particular Boeing Jetliner complemented by beautiful photographic material to match the content. For an overall read about the birth and development of the giant airliner market with a focus on technology and progress consider "Giant Jetliners" by the same authors.

This book has plenty of colorful pictures that help teach the history, present, and future of the Boeing 7*7 series and how it has led the world to using jets.

I bought this for my 9 yr old grandson who is nuts about airplanes. When it arrived my retired Boeing Engineer husband was fascinated with it and gave it a good review. I bought it for $8.00 originally and after 3 weeks, still hadn't received it. (Not an Amazon controlled product). I called Amazon and learned that the supplier had cancelled the sale with no notice or explanation. I went back on line to Amazon and found the same books for over $30 each! I paid $32. It originally sold for $12.00. Evidentally, there is a good demand for these books and that has driven the cost UP. I bought the darn thing because it was a week before Christmas, I didn't have time to find another and it looked perfect for my grandson. Which it turns out is exactly the case. I would sure like to know how to hold the supplier to their original offer; or at least have notice that they do not intend to honor the sale.

Boeing jetliners was an excellent book because the photographs correspond with the story very well. Even to someone who dosn't know much about aircraft can understand most of the book because of the real life examples in the pictures, which are wonderful peices of photography compared to many other books.

This book is a must for airliners enthuisiast, it gives in depth information on development and also gives some beautiful shots that compliment the book material. It reminds me a lot of other books published by these authors. Another great one for the library!

An appealing look at the Boeing jet airliners from the 707 to the new CAD 777. Great photographs of the planes in flight. Includes various insignias of world airlines, and each series of plane. Unfortunately this well illustrated paperback does not include any interior shots. A fine addition to the aviation enthusiasts library
