A Great Talking Point
This Book is, for me, like no other. For a start it is written in three different languages all in one book! This book has a picture on every page and is filled with lots of Intresting information. One thing that is rather irritating with this book is that the page numbers are all wrong and some of the information is not correct. Apart from this, the book has some of the best photos in Aviation History!! For example, the book has a whole section on flight attendant uniforms, Illustrating the change from millitary style uniforms to hot pants to the business suits of todays flight attendants. The book also shows pictures Of diffrent airports all over the world with particular attention to terminal layout. One terminal that is shown is the old TWA Terminal at JFK, that has /will sadly be knocked down. The book goes through Airline Desighn, cabins and so much more. A good book for pictures, a bad book for information and page numbers! A fantastic talking point.
