Minor damp staining at bottom edge of several pages at back of book and rear cover. Thomas A. Heppenheimer (born Jan. 1, 1947; died Sept. 9, 2015, age 68) was a major space advocate and researcher in planetary science, aerospace engineering, and celestial mechanics. His books are on the recommended reading list of the National Space Society. Derived from a Kirkus review: An informative overview of the Western world's airline industry from the end of WW I through the recent past. Drawing on a voluminous public record and interviews, Heppenheimer offers a down-to-earth account of who and what shaped commercial aviation over the past 75 years. The efforts of pioneering airframe manufacturers to develop better bombers for the US military were of great significance to fledgling carriers. The author goes on to review concurrent advances in engine design, focusing on the jet-propulsion work done which paved the way for the workhorse airliners now in service. Heppenheimer examines the roles played by American suppliers and the US government in the evolution of the global airline industry. He does the same for such foreign vendors as the state-owned Airbus Industrie, de Havilland, and Rolls-Royce. Covered as well are the instrumentation gains that allow foul-weather as well as night flights, the consequences of deregulation in the US, the state of the art in air traffic control, and what the future might hold.
