The Worlds Favourite Airline!
This is an excellent book, documenting the origins of British Airways from it's early days as BOAC & BEA to it's expansion and rapid growth through the decades becoming the 'worlds favourite airline'. The book is full of detail ranging from current and redundant fleet types to the liveries over the years. The current widebody, short and long haul BA fleet benefits from over 30 pages of interesting stories and explanation, although my personal interest here was served by the section towards the end showing the 'World Images' colour scheme. Just Great!
I found I couldn't put this book down until I had read it from cover to cover, some excellent photography helps to illustrate an excellent buy.

A Must Buy
This book offers an excellent insight, into the history of British Airways. From its early days as BOAC, its many different colour schemes, its franchise partners, through to the modern jets which is flies today. This book has it all, and is a mush for any aviation enthusiast, or someone with an interest in the worlds favourite airline.
