"This book is an important and comprehensive history of Australian commercial aviation. It is also a terrific read and visual feast for anyone interested in aviation. A wonderful achievement."
A must-have for anyone with a passion for aviation.
Qantas Aircraft: A Century of Flight takes you on a journey of 100 years, from the time Qantas first began flying with two tiny aircraft (an Avro 504K and a BE2e) in outback Queensland to the present day where it operates a fleet of the latest technology aircraft across Australia and the world.
Each of the 60 different types of aircraft that Qantas has operated over the years has a unique story to tell. This book shares their story- why each aircraft was added to the Qantas fleet, the technology behind it, where it flew, and the contribution it made as the airline steadily grew, soon to fly non-stop from any major city in Australia to any city in the world.
" Every once in a while, a book comes across your desk and the immediate reaction is this is a must-have and Qantas Aircraft: A Century of Flight is just such a book"
