Celebrating Concorde: 25 Supersonic Years by Reginald Turnill (author) 1st Edition Hardback Concorde is one of the few aircraft in history that has done everything it was designed to do - carrying up to 100 passengers in armchair luxury non-stop over the Atlantic between Europe and North America at twice the speed of sound, as a daily routine throughout the year, in perfect safety. It has never injured a passenger in all its years of service. It is an achievement of which Britain and France can be proud. Reginald Turnill, as BBC Air Correspondent, grew up with Concorde, from its first concept to its entry into service. He traced its every problem; knew and interviewed those who promoted and designed the aircraft and those who sought to prevent its ever going into service. Nobody could write a better in-depth analysis of the whole story, telling it from personal experience, and in the words of those most involved. His illustrated chronical of the project's fight for survivial was published to mark the 25th anniversary of the prototype's first flight.
