In the words of Robert J. Sterling, “The Convair 880 and 990 jetliners were classic examples of might-have-been transports. They were financial flops but technological triumphs that deserved better fates. Nevertheless, the Convair 880 and the somewhat over-hyped 990 made their own contributions to the Jet Age, and in this 129 page photo book Jon Proctor has made an important contribution to aviation history.” This ebook book covers the development and flight test of the Convair jetliners 880 and 990, and the type’s introduction to service with the front line airlines of the early 1960s who ordered the type. Although not as popular as the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8, the Convair jetliners did help America pave their leadership in the race to be the primary producing nation of jet transports for the airline industry in the late 1950s. Specific chapters are devoted to subsequent third tier and cargo operators, Elvis Presley’s Convair 880 Lisa Marie, Government operators, accidents and incidents, and there is a complete production list and history by serial number. This book is the definitive guide to the Convair 880 and 990, and by converting this title for ebook format, it insures the history of this great jetliner will live on for many generations to come.

Excellent non-technical review of the Convair comercial jets By A Customer This book is much like other recent ones in style by other authors and publishers about great jet airliners of past and present. What did I like? Well, the book is easy to read. It is not full of too many redundant pictures (the airline attendant outfits from the 60's are scary!). There is much detail about the history of each and every one of the Convair commerical jets built. What I would have like to have seen more of (and this goes for many of these types of books) is more of the technical information about the construction of these planes, including details about aerodynamics, control surface workings, motor development, etc. Maybe I am not looking at the right books. Nevertheless, if you are a serious aviation enthusiast, you must have this book for your library.
15 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Convair 880 & 990 (Great Airliners Series, Vol 1) By Daniel Sproat I consider this the best 880/990 book written in the past two decades. It is inclusive with the good, bad and the ugly. The author probably overemphasizes the corporate mistakes. The aircraft is also criticised more than a thoroughbred should be. However, the contributions in photography and interesting stories add up to a very positive account of an incredible jet. Some of the technicals are slightly in error. The wing sweep was almost 40 degrees, not thirtyfive. Also the color photo of an 880 flight deck is reversed. I bought two copies for myself.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Good Book, but now out of print By DLM This book details the manufacture and sale of the Convair 880 and 990 airliners. I was particularly interested in the CV-880 because it was the first airplane I ever flew in. I rode in a TWA 880 from Kansas City to Los Angeles (with a stop in Phoenix) with my mother to see my older brother, who worked for TWA at that time. The book is very interesting and its only shortcoming is that there is not very much technical information. It is, regrettably, also out of print.
