Airline Visual Identity 1945-1975

The production quality of this book is unsurpassed, with many posters and other illustrations reproduced more sharply (and on much better paper!) than they appear in their original print formats. Author Huhne provides valuable biographical information about the artists as well as insights into the methodology of the companies involved in the brand imaging projects for several of the carriers. Even at amazon's discounted price of $250, this is not a casual purchase, but is still a fraction of the cost of an original of many of the posters reproduced in this book. My only misgiving: the book is extravagant in its use of white space, with many blank or nearly blank pages.

Stunning graphic history of airline advertising art, livery and identity. Spectacular images and fascinating narrative of the history/development of major US and foreign airlines during the heyday of art/illustration. Big book well worth the price and deserving of the praise heaped on it by others.

A visually superb history of some of the great airlines through their respective posters and advertising. It also harkens back to an era when air travel was stylish and aspirational, and far less of a commoditised service as it is today. Hopefully there'll be a second book covering other great airlines such as Qantas, KLM, Singapore Airlines, SAS, etc.
