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.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Machat, Mike (illustrator). 1st Edition. Fine unread condition navy blue cloth boards with gold spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Other Books by R.E.G. Davies; Author Dedication and Index. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs, color photographs, tables/charts, and color drawings. "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.
