Summary: An excellent look at the Lockheed TriStar
Comment: The Airlife's Airliner series of books cover individual commercial aircraft types in an interesting, in-depth manner.
Each volume of this British series covers a unique commercial aircraft type from its design, production, entry into service, its usage by airlines, and in some cases eventual demise.
Each volume features plenty of color and black and white photographs of the subject aircraft along with a complete construction list (accurate to date of publication for aircraft types still being built).
This volume covers the Lockheed L1011 TriStar widebody airliner ... including all of its variants and provides an interesting look at the genesis of this long-range airliner.
Considered the most advanced jetliner ever produced (even to this day) the Lockheed L1011 is the story of mis-steps ... production snafus and the lack of proper market analysis. Unfortunately hese wonderful and comfortable machines are becoming harder and harder to find as they are replaced with the current generation of airliners ... however, the photos provided in this volume will help one remember a time when the giant tri-jets rules the skies of the world.

Summary: Very good book on one of the finest aircraft ever built!
Comment: A wonderful book detailing the development and uses of the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar.. Sadly, most Tristars are disapearing from the skies due to their age and fuel consumption. This book explains the history and development of the aircraft very well. It is loaded with pictures of many of the carriers which were fortunate enough to fly this wonderful aircraft. A great book, I really enjoyed it.

From its inception to its continued airline service and service with the RAF, the program is detailed to the nth degree. Filled with wonderful and lovely color photos as well as numerous technical illustrations, this book is turely and avaition afficinatos tribute to a wonderful and beautiful aircraft. They don't make them like this anymore.
