This was originally intended to be one volume but became so vast that instead it compliments British Post-War Airliners – A History of Commercial Aircraft 1945-2000. This volume has two chapters, chapter one comprising essays on 67 discrete types of British commercial aircraft, each one covered in depth and with a drawing, the specifications, the essay and some photographs. Chapter two deals with projects, designs unfulfilled and the like. A typical Ord-Hume book, it is exhaustive on the subject and written with wit and eloquence.
