Description:

For much of the 20th century, travel by air was a luxury available only to the wealth, and accordingly the airlines offered luxurious services that were suffused with glamour and privilege. This book explores the golden age between the 1930s and the '70s, and conveys the experience of flight during the period from the perspective of passenger and crew. The various types of aircraft, the range of routes, the experience of airports and of early commercial flying itself, as well as the changes undergone by the industry, are all covered here and illustrated by fascinating historical materials.
