Notes: CD-ROM, Catalogue # 2004

Moving on to more great propliners, this volume covers a variety of mostly secondary air lines and carg carriers.  Most of these are in the period since about 1970 or so and cover 161 images on 363 Megabytes of disc space. All of the images have as much information as is known about the subject and location with aircraft ranging from the Martin 4-0-4 to the Viscount. There are DC-3s, C-46s, DC-6s, Grumman Gooses (Geese?), Bristol Freighters, Constellations, Britannias and many other superb propliners and cargo haulers. Sometimes, what is in the background of the photo is just as interesting as the main subject!

Like the other CD's these are overall portraits of these planes with image quality generally very good, though you can understand why a few would be less than perfect. It is markings that make these planes interesting and you'll find lots to pique your interest.

I know I liked it and I am equally sure that you will as well.

You can get more information by e-mailing AeroResearch@Charter.net as they have not yet established a web site. You can order via credit card. Thanks to Aero Research for the review CD.
