The airliners that can truly claim to have changed the world of flight, from the early days of flying to the modern-age

Featuring over 140 images, the book chronicles the history of Delta Air Lines, tracing its evolution from inception to its prominent status in the aviation industry today. It highlights key milestones and developments that have shaped the airline's journey.

The Boeing 737 was designed as a smaller alternative to larger aircraft, catering to shorter routes with fewer passengers. Its first flight occurred in 1967, with Lufthansa operating the initial 737-100 model. The subsequent 737-200 gained traction after a major order from United Airlines, becoming the standard model. Although early sales were slow, these initial versions laid the groundwork for a highly successful family of airliners, leading to the current 737 MAX still in production today.
