 | Boeing 757's And 767's by Robbie Shaw
Boeing`s family of medium twins ranges from the 178-seat 757-200 through to the 767. Sandwiched between the two types is the sometimes forgotten 767 family, of which more than 1,200 have been delivered to customers since 1982. This colorful volume covers all 757 and 767 variants and their operators around the globe. In his job as a full-time air traffic controller, author Rabble Shaw is able to achieve unique live-side access at countless airports around the world, allowing him to photograph jetliners from ramp level and taxiways, and in the processes of take-off and landing. Shaw`s trips for this volume took him to North and South America, the Far East (including China), Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, the Mediterranean, and numerous European airports. Complementing the photographs are individual aircraft histories, full appendices, and a series of cutaway drawings. AUTHOR: Robbie Shaw
