Summary: Great Overview
Review: This book provides a great overview of the largest commercial jet liner yet built. There are lots of good diagrams and photos, but most of them are in B&W instead of color. Lots of history and technical information. There are more extensive books available on the 747, but if you are just looking for a fairly detailed technical description and history, then this is th ebook for you.
