Valuable reference and photography collection,
By Serge Luke (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Airlines Remembered: Over 200 Airlines of the Past, Described and Illustrated in Colour (Paperback)
Have you ever wondered what had happened with all those glorious airlines from days when flying was a personal event? This book might give you answers, both on well known giants of the past like BOAC, Pan Am, Eastern Air Lines, MSA and charters like Scanair or Sterling; ; you can also find information about niche market airlines like Peoplexpress, Panair or MGM Grand Air. You'll be reminded (or learn) that some like National Airlines, disappeared from the skies because they have been too successful -- and acquired by larger ones; some have been swept away by changing geopolitical scenes, like Interfulg or EuroBerlin or some that were plainly short on cash for necessary fleet renewal. Each airline has dedicated page, with fine quality 3.5x5.6" color photo and annotated history of airline operations, growth and their closure. Texts are not overly detailed but they do provide an essence. Although paperback, it was has been printed on high quality paper; it is both great coffee table book, and valuable historical reference. I highly recommend it to any commercial aviation history enthusiast.
