Nice Overview of Airliners and Transport Airraft,
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Civil Aircraft (Hardcover)
This material has been published before in multiple volumes. This 1999 updated version brings it all together in one cover. Approximately 125 aircraft are illustrated and described. Arranged in alphabetical order, these are mostly airliners with an occasional piece on Tiger Moths, Pitts Specials and Formula One racers to spice it up. It is very nicely done. The only suprise I found was that although the Douglas DC-2 is covered, the DC-3 / C-47 is not found anywhere.

Needs a more careful revision by the publishers,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Civil Aircraft (Hardcover)
Overall very interesting, with good pictures and colour drawings, and detailed history of each type. Some important aircraft are not even mentioned though, while other less significant types are included. A more careful revision would be nice: you will find quite a few typing errors, such as Bradeirante (Embraer 110 Bandeirante)or poewerplant (powerplant) and these are just examples which appear in bold text!
