“This is a history of ‘big fat’ transport aircraft.... an important contribution to the history of aviation and a fine treatment of these enormous, ungainly looking airplanes. A worthwhile read for all interested in transport aircraft and the history of aviation. ...recommended”—Choice; “detailed technical and operational information...high quality work...recommended”—ARBA; “An easy read that is packed with information. The author has taken what could easily be a very dry subject and delved into and presented the details in a way that kept this reader engaged throughout the work. Each design is presented as a chapter and can easily be read as an independent article without losing context of the overall story. Definitely a book for your reference library.”—American Aviation Historical Society Flightline.
