Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This near fine copy is signed by both authors as well as Sheila Aisbitt and Bob Anderson who were members of the SPANZ family. This valuable addition to NZ's aviation literature tells of the couragous attempt by SPANZ to break rhe shackles of the Government-owned monopoly on air travel in the country.

Although the airline grew to fly to 21 cities and towns and was popular with patrons the end came in 1966 when the company went into receivership, after five years of operations.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very close to new copy. Traces the rise of small, entrepreneurial airlines that served isolated communities and tourist destinations across the country. It covers operators like Southern Scenic Air Services in Queenstown, Tourist Air Travel in Auckland, Amphibian Airways, Trans Island Airways, and Golden Coast Airways. These companies often flew amphibious planes, vintage aircraft, and light twin-engine models, adapting to rugged terrain and unpredictable weather. Waugh and his co-authors?Bruce Gavin, Peter Layne, and Graeme McConnell?combine technical detail with storytelling, highlighting the personalities behind the planes, including legendary pilots like Fred Ladd. The book includes maps, facsimiles, and colour and black-and-white photographs. It also documents notable incidents, such as the 1961 Aero Commander crash involving Captain Alf Bartlett, and includes appendices on surviving aircraft and specific models like the de Havilland DH89B Dominie.

Hard Covers. Condition: NF. No Jacket. Photos, Maps, Document Reproductions, Drawings (illustrator). 1st. Richard Waugh has made an important contribution to NZ aviation literature with a number of titles to his credit. For "Taking Off" he led a foursome of aviation ethusiasts and writers to produce this volume which has as its sub-titled "Pioneeering Small Airlines of New Zealand 1945-1970." The book was published to mark the 100th anniversary of powered flight and dedicated to those who worked for the New Zealand pioneering postwar small airlines and "especially in memory of those pilots who lost their lives.". (The dedication names seven pilots.). In an introductory note to an acknowledgements list Richard Waugh says that "The stories of these small postwar airlines have been neglected in the written history of NZ aviation and mostly overlooked by social historians." There is no doubt that "Taking Off" has done much to correct this literary imbalance by recalling some familiear names, but more importantly by recording those of less well-known commercial aviation pioneers. The main text is presented in 11 chapters, each dealing with the larger and longer-lived postwar airline operators while a 12th chapter covers numerous "Other small airlines which flew (or almost) 1959-1970." Undoubtedly "Taking Off" filled a space in NZ aviation literature which was emptly for too long and it can be unreservedly recommended to any Kiwi aviation enthusiast. It will form a lasting tribute to the men of the small airlines and the aircraft they flew. This copy signed on the title page by Richard Waugh and his three co-authors. First edition of 2003, 228 pages including appendices of surviving aircraft from small airlines of 1945-1970, a history of DH Dominie ZK-BCP/VH BGP and "Air Crash Injustice" a review of controversial investigations of the crash of Bay of Plenty Airways Aero Commander in November 1961, followed by references and index, illustrated throughout with b/w photos plus a 25 image, centrally located, collection of colour photos, few maps and drawings, numerous document reproductions. Laminated hard covers are NF with colour photos to both boards, internally also NF. Signed by author and co-authors on title page. An immaculate copy of an excellent publication. By the Authors.
