Airliners at LAX: Los Angeles International Airport 1956-1976

As an old San Diego boy, seeing all those foto's from LAX (which I visited many times) brought back so many happy memories of SoCal. What beautiful aircraft graced the air and tarmac during those years. The author did a wonderful job of "authenticating" the tail numbers, and short history of each craft. (I really only wanted to see the birds and their 'livery' {company name} from those golden years when commercial aviation was both fun and exciting.) This book may not be for every reader, but for those airline/aircraft history buffs, it is a good varietal collection of by-gone craft and companies.

Wonderful old photos........if there had been 3 times the amount it wouldn't have been enough for me. I surely hope he produces more books on the subject.

This book has Unbelievably clear photography from a long time ago now. The book is on good quality paper as well. The book show a fantastic variety of machines and airlines of the time period.

Very useful book to how’s that interesting Lax airport history

great book

Congratulations to Robert Archer on producing this magnificent book, a must for all propliner fans.The photographs are simply superb and vividly evoke the lost era of the propliners, as well as going on through the sixties, showing the steady advance of jets and eventual disappearance of the propliners. I even liked the photos of the jets!

what a glorious showcasing of the world's PREMIER plane-spotting airport! Although some fabulous spotting can be had today, AIRLINERS AT LAX recalls the halcyon, diverse days when so many unique paint schemes could be seen as a matter of daily standard at LAX! Informative, descriptive, and simply delightful--a trip back into time!
