The Concorde Story

by Christopher Orlebar

First published in 1986 on the plane’s 10-year anniversary in commercial service this is the only one of the many, many books to have reached a service life—25 years—almost as long as that of the aircraft—27 years—it covers. Continuously reprinted/updated the book is now in its 7th edition and has sold in excess of 100,000 copies!

by Jonathan Falconer

You might be looking at the 18 feet of Concorde books on your bookshelf and wonder what could there possibly be that’s new under the sun? Been there, done that. Not so fast there . . .

Concorde (Darling)

by Kev Darling

With over 20 years of RAF engineering background and over 20 aviation books since 1986 under his belt, Darling knows his way around an aircraft. Since seeing the first production examples being built at Filton he’s kept an eye on this plane and harbored a desire to learn more about it.

Concorde (Beniada)

by Frederic Beniada & Michel Fraile

Spectacularly large photos of a spectacularly high-flying plane at a spectacularly low price! It is a tribute to the plane and the people who built and crewed it, not an all-inclusive nuts and bolts history.
