A history of the world's Airlines

Airlines of the United States since 1914

In this book on Latin American airlines, Davies pays close attention to the issues of geography and lack of infrastructure that the continent's airlines were able to exploit quite early. Airlines like the famous TACA built their business on cargo and freight as much as passenger traffic. TACA at one point dominated total world air cargo tonnage. Nearly every page of this book has an interesting chart or photo.

Fly in open aircraft, in the dead of winter? Could such a thing really be possible? It just had to work. And the time was now: the beginning of the 1920s, right after the war. Politicians and journalists were the first to crouch on uncomfortable planks, "air-cooled" and surrounded by mail bags and parcels. They were real pioneers. But it wouldn't be long until they'd be sitting in full-fledged passenger aircraft, equipped with heated cabins. By now a number of a small aviation companies had sprung up in Germany. Their aircraft made wobbly trips, back and forth, from one city to another - preferably along rail lines and during the day. Pilots didn't have radio contact with the ground yet. Only two airlines survived the all-out competitive battle: Deutscher Aero Llyod and Junkers Luftverkehr. For the subsidies-paying German state, however, this was still one too many.

Pan Am: An Airline and its Aircraft

Hamlyn

The third volume in a work recording the history of world's airlines, this book follows on from "Airlines of the USA Since 1914" and "Airlines of Latin America Since 1919". This book covers the entire air transport development in more than 25 countries of Asia, stretching from Afghanistan and Pakistan in the west to the countries of the Pacific Rim - the fastest growing air traffic area. The histories of the airlines and their fleets are combined with details of the men who pioneered them. To take one example, the book describes how J.R.D. Tata flew the inaugural Tata mail service in a Puss Moth, and then development operations until they grew into the international airline that is today Air India. During hundred of thousands of miles of air travel covered while researching this book, the author discussed the airlines with the people now running them, and made possible the detailed accounts of airline development in China, Japan and the Philippines. This book should be of interest to the student of air transport, for those in the industry and for aviation historians.
