Remembering the Pocket Rocket (BAC-111)
The enormous success and passenger appeal of the early jets quickly spurred action on jet aircraft for short haul and lower capacities. By 1961 the newly consolidated British Aircraft corporation  launched the BAC-111 with orders from British United, soon to be followed by Braniff and Mohawk in the US. A total of 244 One Elevens were built, serving all over the world. Following are cards illustrating many of the 111 operators.
