DESCRIPTION:
It was retired from service during 2003.. By the time of it first commercial flight the high hopes for the aircraft's adoption by airlines across the world had evaporated. Concorde is the only successful supersonic airliner that there has ever been. The product of collaboration between British and French aviation industries, Concorde first flew in 1969, and entered service in 1976. In the end only its home country's flag carriers, Air France and British Airways, operated the aircraft, on scheduled services between London, New York, Paris, Washington. The crash of one of Air France's machines, and the drop-off in passenger numbers following the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks, signaled the end for Concorde
Concorde, a good review about it Victor Gabriel Duràn Tolentino This book is a very good "biography" about the best and unique supersonic commercial aircraft in the history, it has pretty information and so much background about the concorde, if you want to know some little things like how it was constructed this book is a very good choice.. "Five Stars" according to richard koehnen. As advertised, on time
