Description:
This book presents detailed photos of the undercarriage, wheel wells, engines (both turbojet and turbofan), and flight decks you are unlikely to encounter in most aviation books. My only quibble is page 46, which discusses the 707-200, a hot ship delivered exclusively to Braniff, in which the short fuselage and wings of the 707-120 was mated to the Pratt Whittney JT-4A turbojets of the -320 Intercontinental. Two pictures do indeed depict a 707-227, but the caption mentions that the aircraft pictured, N7071, was delivered to Braniff in July 1959. In fact, this aircraft crashed prior to delivery, making N7072 Braniffs first 707. The bottom photo shows a Braniff 720-027, not a 707-227; that aircraft was equipped with the same Pratt Whittney JT-3C turbojets of the 707-120 series.
