BARRY LLOYD Libros

Illustrated with over 140 photographs, this book details Varig s origins, its growth and the reasons it eventually went out of business.

The vision of Alliott Verdon Roe and his team in designing and building the 748 resulted in a highly successful commercial airliner, that since the 1960s has been responsible for opening new air routes in many corners of the world. Many of the airstrips into which the 748 formerly operated are now fully fledged international airports, with paved runways, sophisticated air traffic control and navigation equipment, and shops, but it was not always this way. In the early days, the 748 proved its worth worldwide by operating on dirt airstrips and at high elevations and temperatures. Spanning a period of almost 30 years, this book sets out to illustrate some of the many operators of the type, from the initial Series 1 to the final Series 2B. Fully illustrated with over 100 photographs, many of which have not previously been in the public domain, this book dives into the history and global impact of the Avro 748.

With a full history of all the aircraft operated, along with some rare photographs, this book aims to tell the story of Lloyd A reo Boliviano, from its beginnings in 1925 through to its demise in 2010, and examines some of the political and financial challenges the airline faced throughout its life.

This fully illustrated book looks at the development and history of this hugely popular jet.
