Rating: Summary: Great Coffee Table Read Review: This book gives an interesting and innovative look into the ephemera of airline design and marketing over the years. It is a great coffee table/armchair indulgence read, not a serious analysis of the airline business. The book covers everything from design graphics on the plane, stewardess uniforms (some of them hilarious), interiors, catering and marketing techniques right through to designs of salt and pepper pots on board. As a frequent flyer, I found the book to be most enjoyable, and and excellent digest of trends through the years. Buy one for Xmas for anyone who has flown on or who is interested in air travel!!!
Rating: Summary: For the nostalgic flyer or an Airliners library! Review: Who doesn't miss the "innocent days" of commercial airline travel? If you are even remotely interested in commercial flight, remember the days before the metal detectors, the Boeing 707 or simply enjoy a well designed book about fashion, food, design and airlines, this book is for you. I bought this book without hesitation and am 100% satisfied!

Rating: Summary: AIRLINE: IDNETIIFY, DESIGN AND CULTTURE Review: WHO DOESNT LOVE FLYING? THE INDUSTRY HAS CHANGED SO MUCH OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, BUT IT IS STILL ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO BE IN THE AIRPORT AND IN THE SKY. WORKING FOR AN AIRLINE FOR 8 YEARS AND STILL ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE OF IT. THIS BOOK WAS A PLEASURE READING AND LOOKING AT ALL OF THE WONDERFUL PHOTOS OF CHANGES OVER THE YEARS. BOY DO I WISH I WAS AROUND BACK THEN TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY SOME OF THOSE WONDERFUL UNIFORMS AND TICKET COUNTERS. I LOVE ORANGE AND BROWN!! HAVE FUN AND KEEP ON FLYING!
Rating: Summary: My Review Review: You really have to be interested in the food, culture, and design. When I saw this book at the Air & Space museum in Washington D.C. I thought there was more info about the interior designs of aircraft. However, it was mostly about the food and clothing style throughout the years. I would only reccomed this book to a person who is intersted in these topics.
