When planespotters go to heaven, they receive a copy.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Major Airlines of the World (Vital Guide) (Paperback)
Author Günter Endres needs to get out more.
But don't let him start just yet. First, let him finish up one or two more aviation reference books like VITAL GUIDE TO MAJOR AIRLINES OF THE WORLD for the rest of us frequent travelers and planespotters. From FedEx to Cubana to Cyprus Air to the big name carriers, all my favorites are here. Each entry contains a brief history of the airline, a narrative of its fleet acquisition, one photo of a plane decked out in its livery, and then - get this - a numbered roster of its aircraft. You can find 'your' plane as your board if your neurosis runs that deep. Recently, I innocently pulled one of Endres' other reference books out of my briefcase during a long wait in a boarding lounge in Havana, only to hear a colleague's wife exclaim '*Who* reads a book like *that*?!' That's before I'd acquired Endres' MAJOR AIRLINES. I'm going to have to wrap this one in a brown paper bag.
