This is the story of civil aviation, from the early 1900s when airships and biplanes were used to establish the first hesitant services, through the pioneering decades when world-wide routes were opened up, to the jet airliners of the modern age of mass air travel. The book covers the evolution of the airliner from crudely converted First World War bombers to the complex flying machines of the 1970s.
