Inhaltsangabe

First flown in 1957, the Lockheed L-188 Electra was the first large turboprop airliner built in the United States. It had airfield performance capabilities unmatched by many jet transport aircraft even today; however, following two fatal crashes and the widespread introduction of jet airliners, many Electras were converted into freighters. Amazingly, some Electras are still being used today. Wonderfully illustrated, this new book edition tells the story of this aircraft and those who worked on it.
