The Boeing 707 was the first widely used commercial jet. It brought the US into the “jet age” in the late 1950’s. The 707 remained in production until late 1978, by which time other more economical and larger designs were needed due to increased passenger amounts over longer routes. This book is a tribute to a wide range of 707 variants, and airline liveries.

The soft cover book is a rather compact size containing 180 pictures over 96 pages. Most pictures are a little muted and dark, but still show to good effect, the individual aircraft in its full paint scheme and colors.

As a child, I was fortunate to have flown on a number of the airlines in these pages and brought back memories of being able to visit the cockpit, helping to develop my love of aviation. I still have my BOAC Junior Jet Club wings and logbook given to me on a flight. I have a Boeing 707 trip logged in it, signed by the captain, as well as an entry flying on a VC-10. Exciting times!

This is the 3rd volume of the Key Aero Historic Commercial Airliner series on the Avro 748 British production airliner. The book covers the complete 30-year history of this groundbreaking aircraft which as a project started in January 1959. The aircraft was never glamorous but was a remarkably successful. The total production was 381 aircraft. These aircraft were operated in over 100 Countries by 80 operators.

I personally worked on the Queens Flight 748 VIP version interior monuments a few times in the 80’s. So, this book is a great addition to my library. All the photographs in this book to be great and cover nearly all the operaters and versions of the aircraft over the 30 years.

I recommend this book to everyone with an interest in Commercial Aircraft and for modelers. After reading this book I look forward to adding more of this series to my library.

This is the 1st volume of a new Key Aero Airlines Series covering Garuda Indonesia the flag carrier Airline of Indonesia. The book covers the complete history of the airline from the creation as a KLM subsidiary in 1928 to present day global airline. The actual airline began under the name Garuda Indonesia Airways in 1949. The book covers the routs and fleet development over the years and also the different subsidiary airlines form by Garuda. The chapters are fascination and give way more details that I expected in such a apparently small book.

During my Airline interior career, I work on the interiors for several aircraft flown by Garuda such as the A300, ATP, B737 and A330 and this book adds to my library relevant to me personally

All the photographs and write up in this book really help to show how the airline grow and also main issues and troubles it has had during its history.
