This volume contains information on the classic prop-liners, built during the 1940s and 50s. Many now serve their time as fire-bombers or trash haulers. DC-3s, Constellations, Neptunes and Flying Boxcars are some of the types featured in this volume.
A combination of cheap fares, more economic designs and a greater choice of carriers has seen jet travel become a regular feature in the lives of most Americans, and the commercial jet has gone from strength to strength as more and more travellers take to the air. This book features the major carriers and their aircraft as well as some of the smaller regional outfits and illustrates most of their schemes in photographs.
