	Comet to Concorde - SOLD OUT 50 Years of Jet Flight As the industry celebrates 50 years of commercial jet flight, Richard Maslen looks back at some of the key Western jet designs and how they helped mould the development of the air travel industry. Comet The de Havilland Comet was the world's first passenger-carrying jet airliner - despite early problems, it earned its place in the annals of aviation history; Ken Delve outlines the development and career of this historic aircraft. The 1950s New airlines and new aircraft were just two of the motivating factors behind the growth of air travel in the 1950s, but as Rod Simpson explains it was the advent of the jet airliner that paved the way for real expansion. Airport Development Airports have sometimes struggled to keep up with the requirements of new aircraft and the aspirations of passengers. The 1960s Tom Allett outlines how in the 1960s the jet became the world's dominant mode of air transport. Concorde - Pilot's View This extract from 'The Concorde Story' by former Concorde First Officer Christopher Orlebar takes us into the cockpit for a flight to New York's JFK airport. The 1970s Recession and Deregulation became the keywords for the 1970s. Plus snapshot Anchorage. Air Traffic Control - Fast forward from the Bakelite era! Bruce Hales-Dutton examines the way that ATC services have developed since the 1950s. The 1980s Chris Penney describes the next generation of wide-bodies that entered service in this decade and considers the consolidation of the industry, especially in the United States. Plus snapshot Japan. The 1990s Massive growth in a period of near record airline start-ups - and failures. New aircraft in the decade of the regional jets. Changing Colours Airlines adopt a name and a colour scheme that they believe will promote their image - British Airways has undergone a number of image changes in its 30-year history. The new Millennium and the Future Mark Nicholls reviews the first three years of the 21st Century and looks at prospects for the future. Price: £3.99
