Concorde: The Ultimate Photographic History

Concorde is the world’s most famous passenger transport aircraft and an icon of 20th century design. When British Airways and Air France withdrew their Concordes from revenue service in 2003 it marked the end of a unique era in supersonic air travel. In this full-color tribute to Concorde, Jonathan Falconer has scoured private collections, company archives and picture libraries to bring together a stunning selection of photographs portraying Concorde, from its ground-breaking first flights in 1969, through the glory days with British Airways and Air France, to its swansong in 2003. Many of these photographs are previously unpublished.

Jonathan Falconer is an aviation author and publisher, with nineteen published books to his credit. He had the opportunity to photograph BA’s Concorde fleet at close quarters in the late 1980s. He lives in Bradford-on-Avon, England.
