Airliners from 1919 to the Present Day. Kenneth Munson (Hardback) 1983 Edition

 AIRLINERS FROM 1919 TO THE PRESENT DAY by Kenneth Munson - (With 300 Colour Illustrations)

Today we take air travel for granted: it is a vital and integral part of 20th century life. It is sometimes hard to remember that it has not always been so.
 The story of commercial air transport really began after the First World War, when surviving wartime bombers were crudely converted to carry passengers. In these fascinating pages the development of passenger-carrying aviation from these makeshift beginnings to the multi-million pound commercial air transport service of today can be traced. All the principal aircraft which have figured in its dramatic and sometimes controversial history, from early pioneer like the Hercules and the immortal DC3, to the supersonic airliner Concorde and the hugely successful Airbus are featured here. Each is illustrated in painstakingly accurate detail, and its development and commercial career described in Kennerh Munson's topical and authoritative text.
This book brings together in one volume Kennerh Munson's two-part history of the world's airliners, newly revised and updated. It will be an important addition to every air transport enthusiast's library.

A hardback published as two volumes in 1972 and 1975, revised in 1982 and this is a 1983 reprint edition.
