About this title

Synopsis

Designed just before World War II after special instructions from the American tycoon Howard Hughes, the Lockheed Constellation is celebrated today as one of the finest flying machines ever built. As a civilian aircraft, it has been the first airliner able to cross the Atlantic Ocean non stop, but it also has had a respectable military career, thanks to its brilliant characteristics which allowed it to fulfill missions of electronic warfare and AWACS.

Review

“...probably the best single reference on the Connie you can buy...very highly recommended.” (Aerospace Modeler)

“This is a must have for all 'Connie' fanatics as well as those interested in aircraft from the Golden Age of Airliners.” (InScale)
