This review is from: Airport: Behind the Scenes of Commercial Aviation (Hardcover)
I was given this book and was pleasantly surprised at the behind the scenes info and the photos.

It is a book that deserves to be place out on full view. I have it on our coffee table and itnever fails to inspire good conversation.
