AIRLINERS AND AIRWAYS OF TODAY

S. E. VEALE

THE PILOT PRESS: LONDON
1947

First Edition.
Into the six years of war were crowded advances in the realm of air transportation that might not have been made in twenty years of peace. Mr. Veale, who writes with the authority of one who has spent a lifetime in aviation and enjoys the advantage of close association with the British aircraft industry, here explains the significance of the present struggle for leadership in the air. He surveys the technical, political, operational, social and economic aspects of airline operation, ranges over every subject from the design of an airliner to the management of an airport and describes the characteristics of all the newest aircraft. He discusses the place of Great Britain in the race, and the consequences likely to follow her failure to keep in the lead. Mr. Veale, who was the author of Achievement in British Aircraft, one of the best sellers in the strikingly successful Achievement series, has written this book both for general reading, and as a reference work for aeronautical writers and technicians.
