Riassunto:

The authors provide a well-researched and well-illustrated history of commercial aviation's transition to the age of jet airliners--from 1952 to 1962. They describe the planes that made commercial flight possible, from the earlier propeller-driven aircraft to the Lockheed Constellation to piston engines and Douglas and Boeing designs. A special chapter is devoted to the Boeing 707. Many photos, ads, and drawings are included. All three of the authors have had long careers in the airline industry: Proctor is an author, editor, and photographer; Mike Machat is a former aviation artist and illustrator, and served as editor of Wings & Airpower magazine; Craig Kodera is an airline pilot and an aviation artist.
