Concorde

The Concorde flies from New York to London New York to Paris Washington,D.C. to London Washington,D.C. to Paris. Air France/British Airways. they use the Concorde on the set of The Concorde Airport 79.

Excellent introduction and thorough

I looked at a number of Concorde books, and this one and Orlebar's Concorde Story stood out.This one is easy to read, very informative, talks about the technology without getting too detailed and talks about some of the politics and difficulty without getting caught up on it.It's black and white and medium format, so the Orlebar makes a nice color complement to it.Enjoy

Very enjoyable reading

This book talks about the design of the aircraft and flight operations first. Then it goes on to describe flight testing and the history of the aircraft.It is a special plane and it is flown in a special way. It is a must have for those curious about the concorde.
