Summary: Awsome 747 referance source
Review: A super book for any fans of the Jumbo jet. The book briefly discuss various systems of the 747-400, along with a long list of it's clients. Evolution of the 747 from very first, to SP and finally the dash 400. A great light reading book for those who want to know a bit more of the 747-400.

Summary: This Book Flies High!
Review: If you are a civil aviation buff, this book has a wealth of detail on the latest version of the venerable 747, the series -400. The book contains a wealth of information on the design, construction, and operation of all versions of the -400, both outside and inside the aircraft (including the cockpit). Operators of the series -400 are surveyed, and a history of the type is presented. I find myself looking through this book over and over!

Summary: An excellent look at the Boeing 747-400
Review: 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 most recent incarnation of the Boeing 747 ... the most successful widebody airliner ever built. The 747 may be credited with bringing air travel to the masses ... making airfares affordable to the general population due to the large amount of seats available. The 747-400 ... while technically similar to its older sisters ... is in fact an almost brand new aircraft ... featuring newer technology and a more advanced wing. Regardless, the 747-400 still carries the same sweeping, unmistakable lines of its earlier sisters ... making it one of the most recognizable shapes in the world.

Summary: Excellent Overall
Review: This book was superb. It had meticulous detail and very informative, clearly written parts. I especially liked the big -500/600 chart somewhere in the middle of the book. It is the best book I have ever seen about the 747-400.
