THE GEOGRAPHY OF AIR TRANSPORT

The book was published, coincidentally, at the birth of commercial jet aviation. Thus it is a look-back at a more leisurely era of flight, rather than a look forward to the brisk but irksome practices of today.The chapter headings are: Introduction; The Physical Georgraphy of Aviation; The Technical and Economic Background; World Air Routes; Air Transport in Europe; Air Transport in the United States; Air Transport in Under-Developed Areas; and Airport Location. 207 pages, with prefatory matter, maps, diagrams, tables, Appendix, Bibliography, and Index.
