Description
This book is one of the Putnam series of detailed aircraft studies and covers, technically and historically, all the transport aircraft designed and built in Europe that have been used on passenger, mail or cargo services. Some 300 basic types of aircraft are described, together with their many variants.
The aircraft presented are the products of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Rumania, Sweden, Switzerland, the USSR and Yugoslavia. They range from the universally known Junkers-Ju 52/3m to the one-off Yugoslav M.M.S. 3
The oldest aircraft described and illustrated are the Delag Zeppelins used by Germany from 1910; the famous families of Breguet, Dornier, Farman, Focke-Wulf, Fokker, Junkers and Savoia aircraft are all fully described and illustrated: and the service histories of the various types have been covered as fully as possible.
Where practicable, production lists and fleets have been included, and many people will be surprised by the size of the fleets of some of the pioneer European airlines.
John Stroud has been familiar with the transport aircraft of Europe for more than 35 years, has travelled in many of them and flown some of them. In writing this book he has had the collaboration of the manufacturers and operators of the aircraft who have combined to make this an authoritative work and one that is entirely unique. Many of the photographs are published for the first time.
