Whether we like it or not, the world of civil aviation makes an impact on the lives of millions of people around the world today. Be it on a business trip or the annual search for summer sunshine, greater numbers of us take to the skies every year now as access to flying has broadened and become cheaper. This has led to a growing awareness of and interest in the world of civil aviation, which is shared by many who would not class themselves as aviation enthusiasts. This book is aimed at that ever-growing marketplace. It will appeal both to aviation enthusiasts and those who have a more general interest in the subject. The book provides exactly what it says on the box: 1,000 photographs of civil airliners of all types, large and small, photographed all over the world in recent years, in a multiplicity of markings. Each picture is accompanied by a detailed caption with information about the type of airliner shown, the individual aircraft portrayed, the airline which flies it, and the location where the photograph was taken. The result is a wide-ranging and comprehensive guide to world civil aviation today. The photographs reflect the ever-changing liveries employed by the airlines for image and marketing purpose. Many of the featured aircraft range from the latest types and variants of well-known jet liners, to ancient propliners still in service in some parts of the world, consigned to aviation museums in others.
