Skyliners 3 takes us beyond its preceding volume, which featured airliners of the late 1950s and early 1960s throughout Europe and South America. The Jet Age reached Asia as well, with several national airlines placing orders for the Douglas DC-8, Boeing 707, and Convair 880. Hamlin and Lawrence take the reader on an enjoyable voyage across the Pacific, to such far-reaching locales as Hong Kong (old Kai Tak) and Tokyo. Each stop offers an amazing variety of late piston and turboprop and early jet passenger aircraft. Several rare piston-engine airliners are featured as well.
The photos are generally of good quality and well reproduced. The short captions are entertaining, even if they do not have a great deal of substance. What makes this book worth the money is that it offers a seldom seen glimpse to the late 1950s and early 1960s, one rarely seen in such a high-quality format.
