Airlines the world over delight in showcasing attractive liveries on their aircraft which reflect their branding and sense of style to the travelling public and those on the ground. The nature of the airline industry means that the colours and familiar names we are used to in our skies often change or disappear for good. Even the airlines that have lasted the distance reflect changes in styles through periodic upgrades to their look and branding over the years, from the fussy schemes of the 1950s and 60s through the kitsch of the 1970s and infamous Eurowhite of recent years. This book traces many of the schemes which were familiar across Europe, including national carriers, leisure airlines from the holiday charter boom, and regional airlines feeding our smaller airports. Many airlines in these pages have now been lost forever, and others continue in a completely revised scheme. Matt Falcus has had a lifelong interest in aviation. He is the author of a number of books on aircraft and airports, and has written for magazines such as Airliner World, Airports of the World and Aviation News.

The Boeing 737 was designed as a smaller alternative to larger aircraft, catering to shorter routes with fewer passengers. Its first flight occurred in 1967, with Lufthansa operating the initial 737-100 model. The subsequent 737-200 gained traction after a major order from United Airlines, becoming the standard model. Although early sales were slow, these initial versions laid the groundwork for a highly successful family of airliners, leading to the current 737 MAX still in production today.

Few, if any, aircraft can claim to have had as much impact on the culture of air travel as Concorde. The name is known the world over and its sleek likes are still instantly recognisable more than a decade after it was retired. Concorde brought glamour and luxury to the jet age and became a symbol of status sought after by travellers keen to experience flying with her.This book tells the story of Concorde from the beginnings of jet aircraft through the important milestones of passing the sound barrier, and the important collaboration between Britain and France that would see the aircraft take to the skies in 1969. It concludes with a look at the demise of the supersonic airliner, its final flights in 2003, and where to see Concorde today.
