Summary

This three-volume set provides historical and year-by-year operational and statistical profiles for many of the commercial air transport concerns that have existed worldwide for the past 90 years. Entries are arranged alphabetically and contain information (presented chronologically) on such topics as aircraft, routes, and services; associated personnel, both company and celebrity; alliances, pool, and interline services records; accidents and incidents; terrorism and in-flight crime; government service in war and peace, including covert operations; major sporting or political events; natural disasters; literary or film references or production involvement; and unusual anecdotes of historical interest. Company portraits are listed under the most recent airline name as well as predecessor identity. Entries are cross referenced, and there are two indexes (a regional index of carriers, and a name and subject index). A few (poor quality) b&w photographs are included. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
