For aviation enthusiasts, regular travelers, or for anyone with even a passing interest in commercial aviation, the easiest way of identifying an airliner is by glancing at the artwork on its tail. This book is a handy, pocket-sized guide to the tail colors used by airliners from every corner of the globe making it a useful basic aid to the recognition of those individual airlines. The first edition of this best-selling, popular and accessible guide was published in the late 1990s and subsequent editions followed regularly to keep pace with the frequent changes in their tail colors that may airlines regularly introduce. This new 5th edition has once again been fully updated. It includes photos of the tail markings of approximately 600 of the world's leading airlines--all in full color. This book also includes additional information such as each airline's three-letter code (used for flight numbers), its international registration prefix and the UTI country code which indicates its main operating base as well as the aircraft types operated by that airline using IATA codes. The airlines featured are arranged alphabetically and helpful decode tables ensure that the book is user-friendly and easily understood making this the perfect addition to any aviation enthusiast's collection.

The best-selling first edition of the Midland Airline Tail Colours was co published with NARA-Verlag in Germany in 1998, with two subsequent editions coming out in 2000 and 2005. Since then, Hengi/NARA have not published another edition so this updated edition of Airline Tail Colours will be the most up-to-date and recent publication of this title. This pocket guide illustrates the markings of approximately 600 of the world's leading airlines, all in full color. Manning has also included additional information that will have huge appeal to the general aviation enthusiast. Areas covered include the airline's three-letter code (used for flight numbers), radio call-sign prefix, international registration prefix, ITU country code (its main operating base), and the aircraft types used by that airline (in IATA codes). Helpful decoding tables ensure that the book is user friendly and easily understood, making this the perfect addition to any aviation enthusiast's collection.
