The 748 was a highly successful commercial airliner, that since the 1960s had been responsible for opening new air routes in many corners of the world. In the early days, the 748 proved its worth worldwide, operating on dirt airstrips and at high elevations and temperatures. Spanning a period of almost 30 years, this book illustrates some of the operators of the type, from the Series 1 to the Series 2B. Illustrated with over 100 photographs, many of which have not previously been in the public domain, this book dives into the history and global impact of the Avro 748.
