E-Books →Piston–Powered Propliners 1958–2000

What this book does offer is a well-rounded sampling of US, British, and Canadian aircraft, from the Airspeed Ambassador to the Vickers Viking. French and Soviet airliners are notably absent. The pictures, both old and new, are all of very good quality - kudos to the ✅Publisher for keeping all photos on single pages, thereby avoiding those dreaded gatefolds that mar pictures of so many other books of this type. The author also deserves high praise for his interesting and very informative captions that accompany each picture, describing the history and the future of the aircraft illustrated. All pictures are of aircraft in service or recently retired - for better or worse, no museum pieces are included, even flying restorations such as the DDA Dakota and Save A Connie L-1049.
In short, despite its shortcomings, this quality book is a treat to aviation junkies, especially those of us who love old airplanes with big, round engines.
