Description
Imperial Airways was formed on 1 April 1924, bringing together four independent airline operators to create a stable industry. During the 1920s, Imperial Airways played a pioneering role in establishing new air routes into Africa and the Middle and Far East. One of the key figures in these ventures was Alan Cobham, whose survey flights enabled the creation of Imperial's Empire routes. The airline's use of aircraft designed and manufactured in the UK was also notable, a practice that continued until Imperial's merger with British Airways in 1940, resulting in the formation of BOAC. This book explores the history of Imperial Airways, a company that helped shape the development of air travel in the early 20th century.
