Air Disasters is not a comprehensive survey of crashers and catastrophes - and looks at 20 of the most significant in the last 30 years: from the 1972 crash of a Turkish Airlines DC-10 to the fatal plunge of a Swissair in flight off the waters of Nova Scotia. Between these two dates such tragedies as the TAMU Fairchild Hitler accident in the Chilean mountains, forever immortalized in the film Alive; the 1977 PanAm 747 and KLM Boeing 747 collision on the runway in the Canary...

In the early 21st century, over 100 years after her demise, the Titanic is the most notorious ship ever to have taken to the sea. Her tragic story has fascinated every generation from the time, even before her sinking, that every Victorian schoolboy could recite her colossal dimension by heart. More recently, James Cameron's 1997 movie, Titanic, grossed in excess of $1.8 billion, making it one of the biggest block-busters ever-an indication of the extent to which she continues to capture the imaginations of people worldwide. It is less widely known that she was the second of the three vessels known as the 'Olympic' class. Her sisters were the Olympic and the Britannic. Together, these were the largest and the most luxurious liners of their time, their sheer size giving an overwhelming feeling of safety and security. This was backed by the best traditions of British shipbuilding and the latest techniques of design and construction. However, only one of them, Olympic, was to have a full career and Britannic, just a year after entering service and despite many modiﬁcations to further enhance safety after Titanic'; loss, sank after hitting a mine in a chilling echo of her sister's fate. Titanic and Her Sisters is a deﬁnitive account of these three beautiful ships and details their stories from the events that shaped their construction to the relatively recent Cameron movie and the salvage of artifacts from Titanic's wreck. Illustrated with over 500 pictures, many of them in full color, this collaboration of three writers, each of them who are noted for their expertise, is, perhaps, the most comprehensive work ever produced on the subject. A very large 9.25" x 12" format and 512 pages of fascinating text and hundreds of photos, well over 5 lbs / PRC Publishers, London 1998

This volume is a magnificent gallery of artwork celebrating a century of aviation, from WWI to the present day. The pages evoke the thundering of a formation of B-29 Superfortresses, the frenzied chaos of a dogfight, or the majesty of the Space Shuttle. Includes over 150 color reproductions of canvases by both known and unknown artists, rendered in a number of styles, including many photo realistic paintings. Each work is accompanied by a short narrative giving historical background, biographic details of the artists, and other germane information.

The first faltering steps into military jet technology were made nearly three-quarters of a century ago, in the time of canvas-and-wire airplanes and steam engines; since then, the results, thanks to jet pioneers throughout the world, have been nothing less than revolutionary. These 300 aircraft that have flown from World War II on, including some still in service, showcase the Messerschmitt Me 262, English Electric Lightning, Lockheed SR-71; North American F-86 Sabre, the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, Saab Draken, Suhkoi Su-27 "Flanker," and McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle.
