"Piston-Powered Propliners" is a pictorial history, told in pictures of actual piston-engined airliners taken between 1954 and 2000. That’s nearly half a century worth of eye candy; however, as anyone knows multiengined airliners had been plying the skies long before then. Therefore, if you are looking for a complete history of piston-engined airliners, you will have to look elsewhere. The inclusion of photographs taken over such a broad period of time also seems to detract from having a common theme, such as "DC-3 survivors" or "great airliners of the 1950s." To confuse matters, the photos are not in strict chronological order.
