About this product

Product Information

Only the adventurous and the wealthy patronized the first companies to inaugurate air services to the continent in 1919. They flew in primitive converted military machines and could expect their flight or be interrupted by an unscheduled landing in a field when bad weather or an engine problem was encountered. The fledgeling airlines operated on the edge of bankruptcy because the government refused to offer finance. The French and German governments susidised their own airlines to provide themselves with a military reserve. Saved from extinction by a change in government policy four British companies struggled on until merged in 1924 as Imperial Airways. But whilst some pride was taken in the Empire flying boats that linked the Commonwealth the landplane service could not compete against the superior aircraft operated by the Europeans. Archie Jackson is the author of Both Feet in the Air , Civil Aviation - Flight Crews and Pathfinder Bennett - Airman Extraordinary .

  • Excellent hardback book.

    Excellent history of British civil aviation.Perhaps a few colour plates would have added to the book, although they were probably in short supply for the era that the book covers.
