Frenchman Benoit Vienne has completed a new series of colourized American Airlines classic Douglas propliners. The images are of the Douglas DC-4 and Douglas DC-7. For Mr Vienne colourization is a passion that started years ago when playing historical video games. That passion was ignited when he discovered colourized photos on the internet.

“I was so impressed by the feeling a colourized photo can bring. SEE 53 years of the Concorde “A lot of young people feel a bit disconnected when they see a black and white photo but when it’s colourized, the feeling is completely different.

About AirlineRatings.com Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world a one-stop-shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world. Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, as well as the airlines, own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate. Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
