Concorde had flown for years without a major incident, ,but in July 2000 an Air France Concorde crashed near Paris, killing all 109 people on board and four on the ground. By the time the modified aircraft went back into service in November 2001, both BA and Air France faced mounting problems that eventually spelled the end for Concorde. The former British chief test pilot, Brian Trubshaw reveals the inside story of this world-famous supersonic passenger jet. Illustrated with 200 photographs and illustrations, this updated edition covers the Paris crash, Concorde's brief return to service, and its decommissioning in 2004.
