Here is a great little book for the airliner enthusiast and spotter alike. Basically, the author has put together a compilation of the tail markings of every current airline from around the world. Well, as current as one can be in this ever-changing market where airlines suddenly arrive on the scene and equally as suddenly disappear. Then there are the mergers, and one can see how difficult it is to keep up with things.

This book is a super little reference and alphabetically lists each airline. In addition, there are stats on each airline that include the airline name, the three letter code used for flight names, radio call sign prefix, international registration prefix, ITU country code, and IATA coded aircraft types. In addition there are tables that provide all the aircraft type abbreviations as well as the international registration prefixes.

What is best is that this is all included in a compact format that one can easily carry. It is all here from Aboitiz  to Zoom, with six clear images per page and all the color one could want. A super reference and one that the airliner fan has to have.
