Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's first scheduled air service began operation before World War I-with flying-boats in Florida. Thus to the United States goes the honor of pioneering air transport with heavier-than-air craft. In the early years following the Great War, the United States lagged behind Europe in developing commercial air services but did not organize & establish transcontinental air mail services. Slowly, however, from the mid-1920s, passenger airlines were built up, & to serve them the U.S. aircraft industry produced outstanding aircraft such as the Ford Tri-Motor, the Boeing 247 & the Douglas DC-3. These great airplanes & their successors established the United States as the leader in world air transport & led to today's domination of the world's air routes by such aircraft as the Boeing 747 & 707, the Douglas DC-8 & DC-10 & the Lockheed L-1011. Airlines of the United States since 1914 traces the whole story from those first tentative steps in 1914 up to the present when the U.S. air transport system still carries almost half of all the world's air passengers. Every development in airline progress is covered. There are chapters on the exploratory pioneer days before the Air Mail Act of 1925, the adventurous years of the late 1920s & early 1930s, the Air Mail Scandal of 1934, & the era of the DC-3, culminating in the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 & establishment of the basic framework of the airline industry as we know it today. There are chapters on all the main categories of present-day airlines, Trunks, Local Service, International, Supplemental, All-Cargo & of the U.S. overseas territories. The historical development of routes, fleets & fortunes of every airline, large or small--including the Commuter Airlines--are dealt with in a narrative which avoids excessive statistical detail. However, for reference purposes, there are numerous tables of data, supplemented by many maps & charts. The Essay on Airline Deregulation was written in 1982 & the conclusions are still relevant today. The interplay between individual initiative, government regulation & control, the role of factors such as competition, international policy & public opinion, all find a place in this airline story. Not least is the development of the modern airliner up to the 350-ton flying leviathans such as the Boeing 747. The progress & contribution made by the aircraft manufacturers in providing the tools of the airline trade is given full emphasis & illustrated by almost 500 photographs which alone would provide a fascinating story.

Download or read book TWA An Airline and It s Aircraft written by Ronald Edward George Davies and published by . This book was released on 2001-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about one of the greatest names in airline & air transport history. Trans World Airlines (or Transcontinental & Western Air when it was first formed) has contributed more to the technological advance of commercial aviation than any other airline, except possibly Pan American Airways, which launched two jet ages. But during the formative years, when aviation was yet young, T.W.A. was always in the vanguard of progress. One of its ancestors, Western Air Express, started the first sustained passenger service of all the airlines created by the legislation of 1925 & 1926. The other ancestor, Transcontinental Air Transport (T.A.T.) pioneered transcontinental passenger transport with the aid of a famous airplane, the Ford Tri-Motor. It was selected by the airline's technical advisor, none other than Charles Lindbergh--who also planned the route & flew the inaugural flight from Los Angeles, while Amelia Earhart christened the first Ford out of New York. Again with Lindbergh's blessing, T.W.A. sponsored the prototype of the famous Douglas twin-engined DC series, with which, for the first time, a United States manufacturer was able to start an export trade with modern airliners. T.W.A.'s Tommy Tomlinson did the high-altitude research that led, with the Boeing 307, to the introduction of pressurized comfort--flying "above the weather." Owner Howard Hughes played a large part in setting the specification for the elegant Constellation airliners, which a British commentator described as "America's Secret Weapon" in the development of the post-war generations. Such was the excellence of the Kansas City Engineering Base that, at the beginning of the Jet Age, against fierce competition, a single Bowing 707 operated for a whole month, without incident, or even delay. In more recent years (as might be expected of "The Airline of the Stars") T.W.A. was the first to show on board full-length movies. At the other end of the amenities spectrum, it conducted an impressive trans-Atlantic cattle airlift. It has survived near-bankruptcy, mainly because of the intense loyalty of its staff. It was the first U.S. airline to introduce twin-engined ETOPS trans-Atlantic operations. It just started nonstop transcontinental service into Washington's National Airport, the first effective inter-city time-saving since 1958. The list of achievements for this great airline is a long one; & Paladwr Press has tried to record & narrate most of them in the pages of this book. It is illustrated with almost 200 photographs, 30 maps & 48 precision drawings by Mike Machat, & it lists every one of the more than 1,200 individual aircraft that has proudly worn red & white colours of T.W.A.

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.

Download or read book Wings of War written by Theodore MacFarlane Knappen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wings of War: An Account of the Important Contribution of the United States to Aircraft, Invention, Engineering, Development and Production During the World War The manuscript of this book was written in 1919. The numerous Congressional investigations of the management of the war which have taken place since the writing have revealed many shortcomings in both the army and navy that were concealed during the conflict period - and aircraft produc tion is no longer singled out for a monopoly of hos tile criticism and sweeping condemnation, as it was in the unhappy days when its managers were seek ing to accomplish the impossible. Time is a great adjuster of judgments as well as a healer of wounds, and it is the writer's belief that the ultimate ver dict of history will virtually coincide with the conclusion reached in the following pages that in stead of being, as was once universally believed, the outstanding industrial fiasco of America's part in the World War, the aircraft achievements de serve to rank with any of those of our second line of defense, which, taken as a whole, were highly creditable.
