For aviation enthusiasts, regular travelers, or for anyone with even a
passing interest in commercial aviation, the easiest way of identifying
an airliner is by glancing at the artwork on its tail.
This book is a handy, pocket-sized guide to the tail colors used by
airliners from every corner of the globe making it a useful basic aid to
the recognition of those individual airlines. The first edition of this
best-selling, popular and accessible guide was published in the late
1990s and subsequent editions followed regularly to keep pace with the
frequent changes in their tail colors that may airlines regularly
introduce.
This new 5th edition has once again been fully updated. It includes
photos of the tail markings of approximately 600 of the world's leading
airlines--all in full color. This book also includes additional
information such as each airline's three-letter code (used for flight
numbers), its international registration prefix and the UTI country code
which indicates its main operating base as well as the aircraft types
operated by that airline using IATA codes. The airlines featured are
arranged alphabetically and helpful decode tables ensure that the book
is user-friendly and easily understood making this the perfect addition
to any aviation enthusiast's collection.
