DESCRIPTION:
In celebration of the airline’s 80th anniversary in 2006, this book chronicles the remarkable years during which Northwest became an institutional backbone of both American and worldwide air transport history. This diverse historical tribute relies heavily on the author’s own photo archive along with images supplied by the exceptional Northwest History Centre Inc., established in October 2002 to preserve the airline’s rich heritage. Northwest is now America’s oldest air carrier with continuous name identification. Since flying its first mail flight on October 1, 1926, Northwest Airways, now known as Northwest Airlines, has grown to become one of the world’s leading airlines. The rare photographs seen in these pages, accompanied by a detailed and informative narrative, bring together for the first time all of the elements of the Northwest “family,” which includes Hughes Air West and Republic airlines and other predecessors.. Northwest’s legacy of leadership in the aviation industry began with its foundation in the Twin Citie
HGA said OK at the price. OK, but there are other books about Northwest that I found better written and with more photos.. Amazon Customer said Five Stars. Great product at a great price!.
