An excellent guide to the Boeing 757
This book was to the usual standard of the 'Airlife's Airliners' series. I found the book very informative and detailed with good quality photo's and drawings. If you are an aviation enthusiast this is a must for your library.

Good book on the last, wonderful, Lockheed liner
The L-1011 was the most advanced airliner of its era. Advanced aerodynamics,avionics found on other planes only after 10 years, and a thoroughly designed structure, all these features were peculiar for the TriStar, and are well described in this well researched book. Mr. Birtles write in a fluent but authoritative style, and the book is also filled with many colour photos, albeit some on the grained side. A nice work for all the "TenEleven" fans.

Airlife's Airliners: Boeing 757
A very comprehensive and well illustrated publication. Profile contains plenty of history, supported by just the right about of technical information on the 757. Accurate up until time of publication - late 1990s. Well written and easy to follow.
