British Airways by Keith Gaskell

£19.95

Few airlines can boast such a long and proud history as British Airways. From the Empire flying boats, the introduction of BOAC's Comet (the World's first jet airliner) and then into the supersonic age when Concorde entered service in the seventies. Britain's premier airline is now amongst the world's elite - flying a wide range of the very latest airliners on short, medium and long-haul flights around the world. Following the nationalised post-war years of British European Airways and the British Overseas Airways Corporation and the subsequent joining of these under the British Airway banner the book goes on to trace a successful privatisation and the ailine's freedom to pursue new ventures. Every type of aircraft operated by British Airways is described (together with detail of their particular history). Their nuances of livery styles are illustrated in colour together with details of the 34 utopia designs. British Airways has acquired airlines, invested in others and has franchise partners; these are identified and the aircraft described. A unique source of reference. 252 colour photographs. Hard. 160 pages.
