Book excerpt: The first book to tell the story of the Soviet airline, featuring previously unseen ephemera Despite the borders of the USSR being closed to the majority of its population, Soviet citizens were among the world's most frequent flyers. Following the 1917 Revolution, Vladimir Lenin made the development of aviation a priority. Assisted by advertising campaigns by artists such as Alexander Rodchenko, Soviet society was mobilized to establish an air fleet--from the very beginning of the USSR through to its demise in 1991, Soviet aviation flew its own unique path. This book unfolds the story of Soviet air travel, from early carriers like Deruluft and Dobrolet to the enigmatic Aeroflot. Organized like an Air Force, with a vast fleet of aircraft and helicopters, Aeroflot was the world's biggest air carrier of passengers and cargo, responsible for a wider range of duties than any other airline. In an era when it was still common to smoke on board, the Aeroflot emblem appeared on cigarette packets, matchboxes and many other everyday goods. Aeroflot publicity alerted domestic passengers to new destinations or proudly presented the introduction of faster, more comfortable aircraft, while colorful advertising enticed Western travelers to use Aeroflot's international services. Aeroflot: Fly Soviet uses this ephemera to illustrate a parallel aviation universe that existed for 70 years. It pays tribute to generations of aircraft engineers, designers, pilots, ticket sellers, flight dispatchers, air traffic controllers, ground handlers and flight attendants, who jointly created this remarkable chapter of Soviet civil aviation history.

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.

It continues through the "second" Jet Age of wide-bodied aircraft, such as the Boeing 747 and DC-10, and closes with the introduction of the "third" Jet Age, which begins with the giant double-decked Airbus A380. This reference book is an unparalelled reference for aviation buffs, covering airlines around the globe and throughout the modern eras of human flight. The last book written by renowned airline historian R.E.G. Davies, Airlines of the Jet Age is the ultimate resource for information and insight on modern air transport.

Book excerpt: On 14 September 2008 Aeroflot Flight 821, a Boeing 737-505, operated by Aeroflot-Nord, a subsidiary of the Russian airline Aeroflot, crashed on approach to Bolshoye Savino Airport, Perm, Russia. All 82 passengers and 6 crew members were killed. The aircraft was completely destroyed. According to the final investigation report, the main reason of the crash was pilot error. Both pilots had lost spatial orientation due to new instruments they were not familiar with, lack of proper training, insufficient knowledge of English and fatigue from lack of adequate rest. Alcohol in the Captain's blood may also have contributed to the accident.
