Take a stroll down memory lane to the dawn of the jet age, an exciting time for commercial aviation enthusiasts. Presented are first-generation jets, turboprops, and propliners in schemes of the 1950s and 1960s. The selection includes many unusual types, such as the Vickers Viking, Airspeed Ambassador, Curtiss C-46, Breguet 763, and DeHavilland Heron, to name a few. Because this was the height of the Cold War, Soviet types were seldom photographed in the West; this book does, however, include a rare shots of a Cubana Antonov An-12 and an Aeroflot Tupolev Tu-124, along with interesting photos of LOT and CSA Ilyushin Il-14s (plus a flight-deck shot of an Aeroflot example), Aeroflot/KLM Ilyushin Il-62, and two Misrair Antonov An-24s. All photos are of high quality, the lack of fading betraying their age. Mr. Balch also deserves praise for his informative descriptions of each photograph, detailing where the picture was taken, previous owners of the aircraft, and the plane's ultimate fate. Airline Nostalgia offers a quality collection of interesting illustrations (many of them very rare!) the airliner enthusiast is likely to look at again and again.
