Propliner enthusiasts consider the Lockheed Constellation to be the most beautiful airliner built. In this book, authors Curtis Stringfellow and Peter Bowers do an admirable job of presenting this graceful bird, both civil and military variants, in considerable detail.

The authors describe each variant - the Army C-69; the civilian 049, 749, 1049, and 1649 Starliner; and military Super Constellations - in considerable detail. They cover Constellation operations with major and second-tier operators on every continent. Reference sections detail accidents and incidents, surviving Constellations, major operators, and civil registrations. The publisher also provides an index, a feature lacking in the Airliner Tech series. Included are shots of the flight deck and interior for each of the major commercial variants. The wealth of detail in this book is sure to please any propliner or aviation enthusiast!
