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.

Since the dramatic flight by "Chuck" Yeager in 1947, when an aircraft first exceeded the speed of sound, the dream of a successful supersonic airliner has captivated the interest of many manufacturers & of many governments. But as yet, only a few concordes & a couple of Tupolev Tu-144s have gone into service, on a very few routes & none were ever sold. The cost of developing any supersonic airliner is prohibitive. The prospect of their being able to operate economically is remote. The market for such an aircraft (which would have to charge premium fares, even more than first class) is very small. Manufacturers & government agencies alike continue to base their multi-million research programs on inflated market "estimates" that combine substantial elements of special pleading & wishful thinking. Statements invariably include a plethora of "shoulds" & "coulds" in their predictions; but their assumptions carry little weight, as they are ill-supported by known data. The conclusions drawn to produce market "estimates" of more than a thousand aircraft neither clear-headed nor objective. This book, written by an experienced analyst who spent most of his career in commercial airline market research & traffic forecasting, explodes the myth. The analysis draws upon known facts, applies simple arithmetic & makes assumptions that are based on technical, operational & commercial sense.

History

This is a book about one of the greatest names in airline and air transport history. Trans World Airlines (or Transcontinental &amp; Western Air when it was first formed), has contributed more to the technological advance of commercial aviation than any other airline, except possibly Pan American Airways, which launched two jet ages. But during the formative years, when aviation was yet young, T.W. A. was always in the vanguard of progress. The list of achievements of this great airline is a long one and Paladwr Press has tried to record and narrate most of them in the pages of this book. It is illustrated with almost 200 photographs, 30 maps and 48 precision drawings by Mike Machat, and it lists every one of the more than 1,200 individual aircraft that has proudly worn the red and white colors of T.W.A. Includes index.
