• Modern Aircraft 12 January, 2008
This is a great book for the lay person who desires more detailed information on aircraft. The book gives brief histories on all types of aircraft, cross sections of each aircraft, plus information on how jet engines function. A history of flight is given as well. A wonderful book for anyone interested in flight!

• A Very Good Reference Book On Airliners. 28 January, 1999
Endres' beautiful work includes just about every aircraft, from the smallest commuter to the largest airliner with excellent photos, overviews of development, specs, and detailed internal diagrams (2 full pages for most aircraft). It also includes very interesting sections on flight operations, aircraft and engine design, and the future of commercial flight. The book does suffer so many chronic typos and technical errors that you're left wondering if the manuscript was proofread at all. It also tends to slant towards British-produced aircraft, but that's sort of a nice change. The breadth of information and the excellent diagrams are this book's strengths.

• An In-depth And Up To Date Guide On Commercial Aircraft 09 April, 1999
This is an incredible reference to just about every commercial aircraft in the world. With superb color photographs, cut-out drawings of the major planes, and a great amount of info on the planes this is just about the best you can get in this subject. This jam-packed commercial aircraft encyclopedia even has special sections on the anatomy of a flight, the flight deck, the cabin and accomodation, design and manufacture, engine technology, future developments, and the major airlines. The reason why I feel that this book is so fantastic is the cut-out drawings that are so incredibly detailed and that show almost every tiny feature right down to the overhead compartments. I recommend this book to any airplane enthusiast and anyone who just wants to research airplanes and see the technology and details of them.
