Summary: A Great Synopsis of A Great Plane
Review: I am an unashamed L-1011 fan. I believe that the plane was decades ahead of it's time, and still has some features (Direct Lift Control, which accounted for it's superior Autoland system, and an enormously sophisticated Speed Command System for example) that are unrivaled today. I was fortunate enough to check out and get a type rating on the L-1011 near the end of her life at the major airlines, and in every respect I believe she was the best designed aircraft I have ever flown. I can't recall meeting an L-1011 pilot who would disagree with that.Jim Upton has put together an excellent book on the 1011, and I highly endorse it. In this one volume he accurately summarizes the operations and features of this beautiful machine. The photographs are clear and plentiful, the systems descriptions are well done (and will be the best you can see unless you get a 2,000 page L-1011 operations manual), and the format is logical and accessible. Buy this book and learn about one of the greatest airliners to ever grace the sky.

Summary: An excellent book about a truly excellent airliner!
Review: This book is very good, filled with lots of wonderful details on the Lockheed L-1011. It actually has more interior photos than I have found in other similar books, which was a great extra. This book is so good, I plan on buying others from this series as soon as possible. If you like L-1011s, you will not be disapointed.

There were never many books written about the L-1011, but this is a great book for anyone who is a collector of aviation history. I strongly reccommend this book to any Tristar fan.
