Weekend Chief Publishing, hardcover with jacket, 138 pages., 8.5 x 11 x.5 in., B&W photographs with color ephemera section. This book is about the formation of Transcontinental Air Transport, Inc. (forerunner to TWA), the emergence of air travel in the United States, and for a while, the blending of air service with the dominant mode of the time, rail travel. More about the airline than the coordinated rail service, this book provides great insight into the early days of passenger aviation. Numerous photographs accompany the text. Most photographs are of the airline's equipment and personnel but also rail accommodations are presented. Includes a 6-page color section of ephemera relating to this service. Contents: Ch. 1. Gestation, p. 2-17 Ch. 2. Shopping List, p. 18-33 Ch. 3. A Period for Planning, p. 34-61 Ch. 4. Takeoff, p. 62-91 Ch. 5. Setback, p. 92-107 Ch. 6. Comes the Revolution, p. 108-119 Epilogue, p. 120-125 Ephemera, p. 126-131 Index, p. 132-133 Photo Index, p. 134 Acknowledgments and Bibliography, p. 135-136 Fleet List, p. 138.…
