Baby Boeings (Paperback)

The most common jetliners in service today are those that seat less than 180 passengers, and in this class the "Baby Boeings" are the most successful. Author Robbie Shaw covers the entire 737 family, whose production run has topped 3,000 since 1967, and the venerable 727 tri-jet, which is rapidly disappearing from fleets around the world due to soaring fuel prices and more strident noise controls. All the photographs included in this voices have never before been published.

Shaw's detailed text explains the histories of all the jetliners shown, concisely detailing the manufacturing history of each. Photographs shot from areas not accessible to enthusiasts feature variations of all the major operators' standard color schemes, as well as unique "one-off" liveries. Detailed appendices provide full specifications for each aircraft.
