Mellberg chronicles the evolution of the modern airliner, beginning with the Boeing Model 80, whose 12 passengers flew at a little more than 100 miles per hour, to the Concorde, which travels at more than twice the speed of sound.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting book,
By David Rowell "www.TheTravelInsider.info" (Redmond, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Famous Airliners: From Biplane to Jetliner, the Story of Travel by Air (Paperback)
This is a fascinating book full of wonderful photos as well as interesting text that chronicles the development and evolution of most of the modern airliners in our skies today, as well as also covering many of the older planes no longer flown.In addition to covering many of the well known planes, it also has sections on fascinating planes that never made it to commercial release (such as the Bristol Brabazon). The only complaint I have, and the reason for four rather than five stars, is that while Mellberg's book is excellent, it is far from complete, and its slim 220 or so pages (almost one half being photos) could easily double or triple in size by adding more complete coverage and of more planes. Let's hope that the author is working on a second volume! :)

Bill Mellberg has once again written a book that makes a sometimes complicated topic accesible to everyone.
