Readers will enjoy several hundred vintage photographs featuring aircraft and airlines from all over the world. There is ample coverage for all three major commercial variants of the aircraft: the Constellation, the Super Constellation, and the Starliner. Wartime service by military versions is also described.
She was affectionally named Mona Lisa of the Skies by her fans, and the Constellation's graceful lines were the epitome of elegance and beauty in the golden age of air transport. One chapter is dedicated to the special features and extra comforts provided by luxury carriers.
Even freighter models and conversions are detailed in their own chapter as well.
