As Christopher Davis pointed out, "Legend and Legacy" sounds like the book you're after. There was a review posted on rec.aviation recently; I believe Robert Dorsett may have it archived on rascal.ics.utexas.edu if you have anon ftp access. A good source for books on airliners (though not this particular one; the review mentioned B. Dalton's as having it) is "Just Plane Crazy" in Miami, the retail arm of World Transport Press which publishes both Airliners and Airliners Monthly News, and is the U.S. distributor for the JP fleet lists. The best way of reaching them is by phone, and thankfully (for those of us on the west coast of the U.S.) they are open late, until 10 pm Eastern Time. Saturdays until 6 pm and they open at 10 am. From the 48 continental states try 1-800/875-6711; elsewhere, 1-305/477-7163. They also have a 24-hour FAX line at 1-305/599-1995. By mail, write to Airliners Catalog P.O. Box 521238 Miami, FL 33152-1238 USA If you happen to be visiting Miami, they're right next to Miami International Airport at 1200 NW 72nd Ave. in the Perimeter Road Building. All that said, I have no affiliation with them other than as a satisfied customer on several occasions. Their latest catalog includes several new books which may be of interest, including Douglas DC-8: A Pictorial History Grounded: Frank Lorenzo and the Destruction of Eastern Airlines Too bad he's gone from the scene -- we'd have great fun picking on him!!! :-) Jet Airliner Production List (2nd Edition) Mine has been on order for a week; damned Christmas mail must have it trapped along the way! -- Karl Swartz |INet kls@ditka.chicago.com 1-415/854-3409 |UUCP uunet!decwrl!ditka!kls |Snail 2144 Sand Hill Rd., Menlo Park CA 94025, USA Send sci.aeronautics.airliners submissions to airliners@chicago.com
