There has never been another plane like Concorde. A product of post-war Anglo-French cooperation, its distinctive nose, classic lines and faster-than-sound speeds have embedded it in the hearts of aviation enthusiasts since its first flight in 1969.
Concorde: A Collection in Photographs is a compendium of the supersonic airliner's life and career, from test flights to retirement day. Compiled by former air traffic controller and lifetime aviation enthusiast Robbie Shaw, it covers both British Airways and Air France Concorde aircraft and highlights the impressive collaboration between the two nations that resulted in such an important and beloved aircraft.
With more than 140 colour photographs, many of which have never been published before, this book is a stunning tribute to an icon whose like will never be seen again.
