This fully revised edition of The Concorde Story, published to coincide
with the anniversary of the aircraft's first landing at Heathrow, is a
complete history of Concorde. When commercial air services were launched
in 1976, Concorde was hailed as one of the wonders of the technological
world.
Lavishly illustrated throughout, this new edition documents the early
difficulties encountered on the way to commercial success as well as
examining the tragic event at Gonesse in 2000. With a new section on the
after-story of the airplane and a look at what the future holds for
supersonic aircraft, this is the definitive book for all Concorde fans.
