The clear and authoritative text explains the basics of aerodynamics too and the interesting aspects of structure/engine integration. A good selection of photographs and schemes integrate a really well produced book.

This is a really interesting book. It is mostly text, but there are a good selection of historic photographs which haven’t been seen anywhere else, including many of the aircraft once seen at Heathrow.

A fascinating and impressively informative history of the developing technology of aircraft based trans-Atlantic crossings. A seminal and welcome addition to community and college Aviation History collections and supplemental studies curriculum lists, "The Trans-Atlantic Pioneers" is especially commended to the attention of non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject.

The author Graham M. Simons presents a remarkable and well-researched history of Olympic Airways, one of Europe’s important air carriers, from its launch by oil magnate Aristotle Onassis in 1957 to its demise in 2009. Against the background of Greece’s political life, the evolution of Olympic Airways makes fascinating reading, with rare photos, timetable images, route maps and records of promotional material enhancing this flag carrier’s historical account. A most welcome bonus is offered by the author with a detailed précis of the early years of Greek aviation to the emergence of air carriers including Hellenic Air Communications, Hellenic Airlines, AME and TAE. Rather select photos and timetable images round off the notable record of airlines during the pre-Olympic Airways era, while an overview of the post-OA years covers the successor companies Olympic Air – which took on a scaled-down operating pattern - plus Aegean Airlines. This book is highly recommended as it presents.. Read more
