Description
This comprehensive encyclopaedia covers contemporary civil airliners from 1946 onwards. The first two books in this series addressed contemporary private aircraft, and this present volume is devoted to private and commercial aviation of the same period.
The Pocket Encyclopaedia of World Aircraft in Colour features detailed colour illustrations by John W. Wood, Alan Holliday, Allen Randall, Michael Baber, and William Hobson, providing accurate side-view profiles and plan views of numerous civil aircraft types from around the world. Each aircraft entry includes technical specifications such as engines, span, length, height, maximum take-off weight, cruising speed, operational ceiling, range, and payload information.
Featured aircraft include classic airliners such as the BAC Super VC10, Hawker Siddeley Trident, Sud-Aviation Languedoc, and many other significant civil aircraft that have served airlines globally since the end of World War II. The volume provides comprehensive coverage of civil aviation development during the jet age, documenting the evolution from piston-engined aircraft to modern turboprop and jet airliners.
