Product Description
This study of the famed supersonic commercial transport examines the history, design production and service of the Concorde, from the initial planning stages to the aircrafts first flight in 1975 and the tragic accident in France in July 2000. The story begins with a brief background of supersonic flight and a look at plans dating as far back as the 1950s for a commercial SST.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent look at the Aerospatiale / BAC Concorde, July 22, 2003
By Gordon K. Werner (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Airlife's Airliner series of books cover individual commercial aircraft types in an interesting, in-depth manner.

Each volume of this British series covers a unique commercial aircraft type from its design, production, entry into service, its usage by airlines, and in some cases eventual demise.

Each volume features plenty of color and black and white photographs of the subject aircraft along with a complete construction list (accurate to date of publication for aircraft types still being built).

This volume covers, unfortunately, almost the entire operational life of this amazing aircraft. The only successful SuperSonic passenger airliner (there was only one other - the Russian Tupolev Tu-144 (which actually flew first)) the Concorde has plied the skyways between London and Paris and New York City.

Always interesting and always able to draw a crowd of on-lookers, this elegent airliner is about to ffly its last flight as Airbus Industrie has declined to continue supporting the existing fleet of aircraft. Fortunately ... both Air France and British Airways have decided to donate all of the airframes to aviation museums located around the world ... so that future generations may marvel at what could have been the next revolution in commercial air travel.
