Download or read book Airliners Worldwide written by Tom Singfield and published by Midland Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the very popular first edition of Airliners Worldwide in 1997, there have been many changes to the fleets employed by the operators, and, of course, many of the illustrations (even two out of three on the front cover) are now history. In addition, some aircraft types have been withdrawn or not developed, including Concorde, the Handley Page Herald, IAI Arava, IPTN N250, Let L610 and SE210 Caravelle. New types which have appeared or are under development include the Embraer 195 and 170, the Antonov An-140, Airbus A318, and Airbus A380. Thus the coverage in this new edition of this valuable guidebook will be markedly different, up to the minute and indispensable. The text for each type has been revised and updated where necessary. Each type has a historical narrative and description of model variants and type of operations, and has the principal technical details such as dimensions, capacity, powerplants, and performance - and a listing of all current operators. The photographic selection is all new and has been updated with the latest eye-catching and interesting color schemes where possible.

Download or read book Airliners of the 1970s written by Gerry Manning and published by Midland Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a highly pictorial look at a decade which saw much change in the world air travel scene, well-traveled aviation photographer Gerry Manning has assembled an exciting collection of images from all over the globe. Over 60 different types are featured, from the propliners still hard at work to newly-introduced Concorde and Tupolev Tu-144 supersonic transports. It was a decade which saw the first Boeing 747 services and introduction of the first Airbus product: the A300. Helicopters ferried between the skyscrapers of Manhattan and from the Scottish mainland to North Sea oilrigs. In a period of transition, early jets like the CV-880 and DC-9 flew alongside turboprops like Viscount and Electra and piston Convairs and DC-6s. Carvairs plied their specialized trade, Martin 4-0-4s were still in use as feederliners and the Warsaw Pact countries provided a captive market for the vast Soviet aviation industry. Detailed captions give the background to the images and the fate of the aircraft and operators depicted. This attractive all-color publication is a valuable reference for enthusiasts, historians, modelers, or anyone in need of an infusion of nostalgia.
