Boeing 747-400 (AirlinerTech Series, Vol. 10)

Rating:
Summary: Impressive
Review: Having read the previous book in the Airliner Tech Series dealing with the 747-100/200-300/SP as well as other books on the famous Jumbo Jet I will say that for some one looking for technical details this is a good book to read. Being an engineer and having worked on both the 747-200 and -400 I noticed that a lot of the technical drawings are taken directly from the Boeing manuals. As with the book covering the 747-100/200/300/SP this book had a number of printing errors and omissions that Specialty Press needs to be a bit more carefull about, something I found highly annoying. For somebody keen on modelling this book would be a great research tool.

Summary: the "Queen of the skies" in deep detail
Review: This title in the excellent "Airlinertech" series, is a very deep analysis into the complex systems and updated technologies of the 747-400, a true "Queen of the skies". The book is very interesting, especially from the technical point of view, with many diagrams, explanation of the major systems and nice photos (I particularly like the production line shots, by the famed James Goodall). I would rather like more production line shots and less of the usual airport photos,together with a more in deep analysis of the engines, but otherwise, this is a very nice book, particularly on the "good value for money" aspect.
I hope Specialty Press will continue with this good technical standard.
