The 1960s provided aviation enthusiasts with the greatest diversity of civil airliners ever seen, before or since. This heady mixture of props and turbojets features 150 color photographs from the pivotal decade when a rotund Vickers Viking, a direct descendent of the World War II Wellington bomber, could be spotted taxiing behind a Boeing 707, one of the new generation of intercontinental jetliners. The photography represents a variety of airline and charter carriers around the globe, and stylish color schemes that flattered the elegant designs of suck aircraft as the 707, DC-8, Constellation, DeHavilland Comet, and more. Each image is fully captioned with the date, location, history, and fate of the aircraft shown.
