I found this book while searching through the shelves of a used book store in Victoria. The $15 I spent on it is well worth the money. This coffee table book is all pictures of propeller driven freighters, most converted old passenger prop liners.

The pictures are from all over the world, and now that we are twenty years along, I suspect that very few of the aircraft photographed in the book are still flying. I makes a beautiful display on my oak table, is a great conversation started, and on cold rainy nights, transports me back to the glory days of flight.

For any of you piston people, this is a must have book
