The World’s Greatest Civil Aircraft: An Illustrated History

The World’s Greatest Civil Aircraft: An Illustrated History

Commercial air travel began just over a century ago. In that time, there have been groundbreaking civilian aircraft, such as flying boats, the first pressurized cabin aircraft, jet and supersonic aircraft, as well as immense changes in the capacity of aircraft â€“ in the 1920s aircraft could carry 20 passengers, today it can be up to 800 passengers. The Worldâ€™s Greatest Civil Aircraft features 52 of the greatest civilian aircraft, from the 1920s Dornier Do J flying boat to Concorde and the Boeing 747, from narrow-bodied to wide-bodied, propeller to jet, from small Jetstreams to Ilyushin Il-62, once the worldâ€™s largest earlier, to todayâ€™s double-decker Airbus 380. Each entry includes a brief description of the aircraftâ€™s development and history, a color profile artwork, key features and specifications. Packed with more than 200 artworks and photographs, The Worldâ€™s Greatest Civil Aircraft is a colorful guide for the aviation and transport enthusiast.
