Description

On the 2nd of March 1969, as the Americans were about to send three men on the Moon, the Anglo-French Concorde prototype, made her first flight towards achieving her big challenge: a commercial passenger service that can cruise for several hours at Mach 2. The chance for thousands of engineers, pilots and flight attendants to push back - with rigour and passion - the generally accepted limits and make this dream accessible to all passengers. This book is a tribute to Concorde and to all, men and women, who have, over the past forty years, made this challenge into roaring success. This volume locates and gives an account of all the Concordes on show throughout the world. The biggest number of original photographs of Concorde ever published in one volume. Authors: Jean-Philippe Lemaire and Xavier Deregel. Preface: André Turcat.
