Public interest in the Concorde story shows little sign of abating,
despite the aircraft having been retired from airline service in
November 2003. With British Airways' Concordes now on public
display at various locations around the world, including examples
at Heathrow Airport, Bristol (Filton), Yeovilton (Fleet Air Arm
Museum), Weybridge (Brooklands Museum), Manchester (Museum of
Science and Technology) and the Museum of Flight in Scotland (East
Fortune) the time is ripe for a budget-priced pocket-sized layman's
chronological account of the Concorde story that will appeal to
Concorde visitors and Concorde enthusiasts alike. "The Concorde
Story" is an attractive picture-led account with a short but
authoritative text supported by a comprehensive selection of 80
colour and black and white photographs showing Concorde at all
stages of its life. Peter R. March's narrative covers the
background (how it came about, from drawing board to first flight);
testing times (development flying and proving the aircraft); the
fight for survival (political and airline problems); into service
(transatlantic routes with BA and Air France); success and disaster
(records, passenger appeal and tragedy in Paris); and grounded (the
final year and the end of the story - or is it really?)
