About this title

Synopsis

David H. Stringer, the History Editor for AIRWAYS Magazine, has chronicled the story of the commercial aviation industry with his airline history articles that have appeared in AIRWAYS over the course of two decades. Here, for the first time, is a compilation of those articles. Subjects A through C are presented in this first of three volumes. Covering topics such as the airlines of Alaska at the time of statehood and Canada's regional airlines of the 1960s, the individual histories of such carriers as Allegheny, American, Braniff, and Continental are also included in Volume One.

His background includes a degree in history and political science from the University of Detroit (today's University of Detroit Mercy) followed by a 32-year career in the airline industry. His interest in airline history focuses primarily on the 20th Century and, in particular, the era before deregulation of the industry in the United States.David has contributed to AIRWAYS Magazine since 2006 and has served as the publication's History Editor since 2014. He is a member of the Editorial Board of The Aviation Historian (TAH), a British publication, and is author of the book "America's Local Service Airlines".
