DESCRIPTION:
Modern Air Transport A Customer This is my newest read in Putnam's series on the history of aviation. It is a worthy addition, up to the standards of the 3 previous volumes I have read. There are many interesting photos of aircraft, engines, and airports, many with a UK slant. Surprisingly, the chapters on the business and regulatory side of commercial aviation were interesting to me. Now I feel ready to start my own airline and build an international airport. As with any multi-author volume the writing is a little uneven, and there is the occasional error of fact
Written by a team of recognised authorities, the essays in this volume are wide-ranging and include topics as varied as the evolution of the airliner since the end of World War II; the regulation of airline markets; and specializations such as polar surveys, firefighting, and flying doctors.
