{"product_id":"key-publishing-bac-one-eleven-9781802823677","title":"BAC One-Eleven","description":"On 20 August 1963, the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) One-Eleven flew for the first time. There was a lot riding on this new aircraft. For BAC, which was a result of the consolidation of the nation's aircraft industry that turned 27 companies into just three major airframe builders, the new jet promised salvation. The One-Eleven was the first major airliner to be launched by an order from an independent airline - in this case, British United Airways, a young company that had, like BAC, been formed in 1960. It was also the first British jet to be ordered off the drawing board by a US airline.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSoon the One-Eleven was operating around the world, and in Britain it formed the backbone of the short-haul fleet. During the 1970s and early '80s, it was the staple of the inclusive tour holiday business operated by airlines such as Dan-Air, Laker Airways, British Caledonian Airways, Monarch Airlines, Autair\/Court Line and British Island Airways. However, despite this, it was never as successful as many of its contemporaries, such as the Boeing 737 and Douglas DC-9. This new book edition of Aeroplane Classic Airliner: BAC One-Eleven covers the full story of its concept and design against the troubled background of the industry's consolidation, and of its entry into service.","brand":"Key Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53581177061718,"sku":"9781802823677-V","price":15.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781802823677_1.jpg?v=1778452649","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/key-publishing-bac-one-eleven-9781802823677","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
