Thousands of turboprop airliners connect major hubs with small airports throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia. In fact, most large airlines operate subsidiaries equipped only with the latest 14- to 70-seat commuters. This full-color book features spectacular photography, most of it air-to-air, of turboprop commuters from the likes of Boeing, Saab, Beech and Fokker in service around the globe. Includes magnificent shots from the flight decks.

Very nice book illustrating the development of the commuter/regional airplanes of the 1970's and 1980's and 1990's.
It shows how some companies were successful in producing some great planes while some others were not. Great pictures !!!!
