4.0 out of 5 stars One of a kind book, August 13, 2000

By	Ivan Shepperd (Richardson, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book will really take you back to those hours spent waiting in airports during the 1980's watching the planes come and go. It's packed with GREAT photos and the stories of the failed airlines are brief but informative. I was somewhat disappointed to find two of my favorite airlines, Braniff (the original incarnation) and Texas International, missing. But the author states in the book's introduction "This book focuses only on the pure-jet carriers. Included are all airlines that began passenger operations with jet aircraft between the signing of the Airline Deregulation Act [of 1978] and January 1, 1990, and which have disappeared." And "There are companies whcih some may feel are omitted." Fair enough. Just be aware. Still there dozens and dozens of airlines included. I think it's a great book on an intriguing subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, August 1, 1999

By A Customer

Wow! This book is a must read for any airline enthusiast. From some of the most well known start-ups...Air Florida, Midway, People Express... to some of the most unknown carriers, it covers it all. If you like studying the airlines now, you should get this book about the ones who made todays airlines what they are, through merger or through competition! It is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great photos! Excellent information! My airline was in it!, January 5, 1999

By A Customer

The book you have been looking for if you are one of the many people who have "bankrupt an airline!" I found this book very fascinating. Not only does it have pictures of past airlines, but a short history on each. Heck, even Total Air/Air America is in there!
