<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"First published in Great Britain in 1986 by Temple Press"--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This fully revised edition of The Concorde Story, published to coincide with the anniversary of the aircraft's first landing at Heathrow, is a complete history of Concorde. When commercial air services were launched in 1976, Concorde was hailed as one of the wonders of the technological world. <p/>Lavishly illustrated throughout, this new edition documents the early difficulties encountered on the way to commercial success as well as examining the tragic event at Gonesse in 2000. With a new section on the after-story of the airplane and a look at what the future holds for supersonic aircraft, this is the definitive book for all Concorde fans.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I thought the many photographs in this book were outstanding and could be used as a reference for anyone building a model of the Concorde ...
