Book Reviews of The Concorde Story: 21 Years in Service (Osprey Civil Aircraft)
Book Review: The Concorde Story - well written and worth the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
For anyone interested in the history, construction, and flying of Concorde, Christopher Orlebar's experience as a Concorde pilot provides the reader with a unique perspective that satisfies the reader's technical curiosity while presenting a entertaining and detailed description of what it actually takes to fly this incredible aircraft. Having previously read rather dull "textbook style" books on Concorde in the past, this book vastly exceeded my expectations. The author's attention to detail almost gave me the impression I was actually in the cockpit observing the flight crew's procedures. The judicious use of graphs, charts and photographs further enhance the reading without overwhelming the reader. Capt. Orlebar also discusses sonic booms, the politics behind the plane's development, and the future of supersonic flight, thus enhancing the appreciation of what make this plane unique. This book is well written in language understandable to pilots and nonpilots alike. If you want to learn more about Concorde, then this is the book to get!
