the text is disjointed and not well-organized. There's very little text and the photos are abundant but not terribly impressive. The vintage pictures of the Connie in commercial service are basically not-terribly-good reproductions of the famous shots we've all seen before. (i.e. the cover shot). The rest are photos that presumably the author took himself fairly recently of restored / derelict Connies at Pima and other places. Also, there's an over-concentration on military variants…
Elegant and graceful, the curvaceous Lockheed Constellation remains one of the most sought after aircraft on todays airshow circuit. Designed by Lockheeds legendary Kelly Johnson, the Connies triple tails are reminders of the glory days of the big propliners. Piston-powered and propeller-driven, the Constellation, Super Constellation and Starliner series of aircraft are profiled here in both civilian and military dress, and in domestic and foreign markings.
