Planes like you've always dreamed of...but planes you can handle, maintain, compare. The history of these toy-planes will excite aviation fans, inveterate collectors and all those for whom the airplane remains one of man's most fabulous inventions. This book brings together all of the toys featuring the Air France airline, from the pioneering aircraft of the 30's right up to the most recent Airbus, in more thon 350 illustrations. From the legendary Latécoère Lieutenant de Vaisseau Paris to the Dewoitine, favored plane of the pre-war years, to the Caravelle, true national symbol of the 1960's, and the Super Constellation, without forgetting the inescapable Concorde, these extraordinary toys entice us to hop on board and jet into the wide blue yonder. Produced by JML, Joustra ou Montblanc, each of these toys, gathered from both private and Air France collections, not only reproduce the original aircraft, but imbue them with that touch of poetry that makes them so attractive both collectors and the general public alike. Frédéric Marchand is an expert in old toys, and perfume. A passionate collector, he is the author of several reference works, including Une histoire des jeux et jouets (A History of Games and Toys) and Avions-jouets, des origines à 1945 (Toy Planes, from the Beginning to 1945) (Maeght).
