In and around every major international airport can be found a variety of smaller provincial airports and airfields. Because of their small size and often because of difficult terrain, it is impossible for large, long-distance airliners to operate from their shorter runways. It is here that short-haul airliners come into their own. This book captures, in full color, many of these interesting aircraft as they fly their short-haul routes.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Nice pictures but not informative.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Short-Haul Airliners at Work (Paperback)
While some makes and models of airliners have been covered redundantly in these types of books, this one is dedicated to smaller aircraft which makes it a unique and worthwhile purchase. What's missing here is adequate text documenting the history of the aircraft. For instance, there's an elaborate spread for the Fokker 100, with pictures of it in the livery of about a dozen airlines. However, all there is to read about it are brief captions for each picture which say little more than how many each airline has in its fleet. I realize that the primary appeal of these books are the pictures, but with other airliner books in my collection, I have also learned.

Excellent photographic essay of short haul commuter aircraft,
By A Customer
This review is from: Short-Haul Airliners at Work (Paperback)
An excellent photographic journey into the subject of commuter aircraft, the workhorse of today's aviation industry. Philip Handelman has captured on film, the various types of aircraft in service today.His photography includes some static photos of aircraft on the ground as well as incredible air to air shots.
