(Subject: Aviation - General) This book chronicles the history of Pan American World Airways, believed by many to be the world's greatest airline. From its modest beginnings in 1927 Pan Am grew to encompass the entire globe, always pioneering new routes, experimenting with the newest and best available aircraft, accumulating valuable experience in long-distance navigation. The author presents the story in sections, each organized around the acquisition of a new aircraft or the expansion of its air routes. The book recreates the step-by-step growth of commercial aviation technology, from the early Fokkers and Ford Tri-Motors to today's giant Boeing, Douglas, and Lockheed turbojets. The book predates the Lockerbie tragedy and Pan Am's subsequent demise in 1991.

Condition: very good condition. First Edition - First Printing - - This excellently illustrated book is a rare compilation of Lufthansa' history. You will find a well selected collection of information and spectacular maps of the old routes flown by Lufthansa in the past, never shown in any other publication. Also included are rare photos of Lufthansa aircraft of the past together with side view illustrations of selected aircraft, the rare color logos of Eurasia, SCADTA, DeruLuft and others and a colored "Anecestry of Deutsche Luft Hansa" from 1918 to 1928. - Highly recommended! - - Germany's national airline, Lufthansa, traces its heritage to the earliest years of aviation. By 1919, when Lufthansa's first progenitor, Deutsche Luft-Reederei, established the crane symbol still proudly carried today, the German public was already air-borne: Count Zeppelin's airships had carried more than ten thousand paying passengers before World War I, generating a flying start for Lufthansa's ancestors. - During its formative years the airline mirrored the progress of German aviation technology. The all-metal Junkers F 13 of 1919 was years ahead of its time. Its direct descendant, the Junkers-Ju 52/3m - Tante Ju - was built in greater numbers than any other transport aircraft except the DC-3. The 1926 Rohrbach Roland's box-spar wing and stressed skin heralded the multicellular construction still standard today. And Lufthansa launched other pacesetting types, from the 1938 transatlantic Focke-Wulf Condor to the Airbus family of the 1980s. - The author's exhaustive research turned up much noteworthy new material, in-cluding a comprehensive genealogy of Lufthansa's numerous ancestors, succinct surveys and adventures of overseas associates, and innovative transoceanic experiments with catapult-launched aircraft. - As in Pan Am, the first book in this series, Lufthansa: An Airline and Its Aircraft is filled with meticulously compiled tables of vital data; scores of photographs, some never before published; and Mike Machat's süperb, painstakingly accurate aircraft drawings. 90 p. many photos, illustrations and maps Original cloth binding with dust jacket, large format.

This excellently illustrated book is a rare compilation of Imperial Airways' and the other predecessors to British Airways history. You will find a well selected collection of information and spectacular maps of the old routes flown in the past, never shown in any other publication. Also included are rare photos of the aircraft of the past together with side view illustrations of selected aircraft. - Highly recommended! - - Many books have been written about the early history of the British airlines, from their infancy through their maturity and adulthood. In the case of British Airways, its ancestoral infancy and adolescence took many forms, and this is possibly the first book that follows the some-times complex relationships that led, first, to the formation of Imperial Airways, and, later, to the formation of British Airways, that is, the pre-war one that merged with Imperial to form B.O.A.C. in 1939. - The text is illustrated with profile drawings of all the main types, together with the elegant paintings of lan Marshall and Edmund Miller. The remote developments, from a single cross-channel flight to Paris in 1919 to an Empire-embracing network in 1939, on the eve of the Second World War, are shown by the author's maps. There are photographs at every stage, to emphasize the progress made from open-cockpit single-engined planes (converted from light bombers of the Great War of 1914-18) to the elegant flying boats that were able to add modernity to the romance and adventure that characterized air transport during the 1920s and 1930s. - Thanks to the accurate technical support of veteran author-historian John Stroud, the fleets of every type are tabulated; and author/pilot/publisher Mike Machat has supervised the artwork. - Altogether, for all enthusiasts of airlines and air transport history, The Imperial Years should be a pleasure to peruse and also to serve as a reliable reference source for any library bookshelf. 108 p. many photos, illustrations and maps book very good condition, dustjacket good condition Original cloth binding with dust jacket, large format.

"Although Delta Air Lines is one of the world's largest airlines today, ranking among the top five, by any unit of measurement, this was not always the case. Unlike its rivals in the 1990s, it has only recently reached this position of eminence, and for many years before and after World War II, it never aspired to the level of distinction enjoyed by the privileged "Big Four," or Pan American, or the leading flag carriers from overseas. C.E. Woolman, who had founded the airline back in 1929, after realizing the potential of the airplane for commerical purposes in a crop-dusting operation in Louisiana, guided Delta out of the Deep South by patient route expansion through the regulatory process that was current from 1938 to 1978, and by shrewd mergers, invariably conducted without animosity. This book covers the complex history of a great airline, together with those of the main companies that became part of the Delta family: Chicago & Southern, Northeast Airlines, and Western Air Lines. Their combined heritage respected and preserved in Delta's archives and in its own museum at Atlanta. Delta: An Airline and its Aircraft is intended to complement these institutions in preserving the memories and of an airline that has rarely benefitted from a gratuitous handout from any government agency, and whose path to success has been derived from the efforts of its own people, and from the judgement and initiative of its leaders, all of whom rose from within its own ranks." -- from the inner front jacket flap.
