Overview
Overview
The most comprehensive book on early airline history ever written. From their formative years to the jet age, it contains bios on key people in the industry as well as data on the major aircraft that made up the fleets. It also covers many airlines that didn't survive the dog-eat-dog world of airline star-ups. Because the airlines evolved from the risky business of flying the mail, the history of air mail and the air mails acts are covered, including the infamous 12 day-long "Spoils Conference" that was either the breath of life or death knell, for every airline in the country.
