2.0 out of 5 stars Picture Book, December 27, 2005
This is just a picture book. It's best suited for my two year old boy who loves airplanes. Nothing inciteful, no in-depth history, no meat. Only a dozen pages of text. But I must admit, the photos are great. I purchased this book for my father (a 57/67 flight instructor). I was too embarrassed to give it to him. I found another book. He'll get a late Christmas gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating, August 6, 2000
By Ariq Huda (Chino Hills, CA USA) - See all my reviews
The Boeing 757 and 767 are perhaps two of the most gracious aircraft flying the skies today. With their smooth, clean lines, they are absolutely beautiful. Robbie Shaw captures these two aircraft beautifully. The aircraft seem to adore the camera as they look excellent in the photos.

The Boeing 767, developed in 1980, was designed to close a large gap for Boeing. Airlines demanded an aircraft that could seat 250-340 passengers, and could take them farther, more efficiently. Thus, Boeing was out for the 767.

The Boeing 757, developed shortly after the 767, is quite different from its big brother, yet it's quite similar, in other aspects. The aircraft share identical cockpits, allowing airlines to save ten's of thousands of dollars on pilot training.

This is truly an excellent book, for the aviation enthusiast and non-avitaion enthusiast alike.
