 | British Airliner Prototypes (IA5) Ref: IA5 This is the first time that a detailed study has been produced in one volume on the prolific developmental output of British post-war civil aviation design. This book is the result of many years dedicated research by the author who has drawn upon hitherto largely unknown and untapped manufacturers' archives. Hardback, 224 pages.For each airliner there is an overview of its genesis and development supported by performance and production details. The author has provided a detailed history for each of the many prototypes with both colour and mono photographs, many of which have never been published before. With the recent end of airliner manufacture in the UK by indigenous firms, this is a timely look at how the great story of airliner building in Britain developed postwar, and grew with great success over many years, and how now at the beginning of the 21st century, British-built airliners are a thing of the past.

 | Concorde (IA13) Ref: IA13 This large landscape book celebrates the illustrious history of the worlds most advanced supersonic passenger aircraft. Concorde flew regular transatlantic flights from London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle to New York JFK and Washington Dulles, flying these routes at record speeds, in under half the time of other airliners. It finally bowed out in 2003 after the tragic crash in Paris; however, its performance still far exceeded any other commercial aircraft. Stephen Skinner provides an authoritative study of this most famous aircraft, thoroughly researched and beautifully presented in an attractive large format which honours this fantastic achievement. Certain to be highly sought after by historians, modellers and enthusiasts alike, this is one not to be missed! Hardback, 144 Pages.
