Sub-titled "South Pacific Airlines of New Zealand and Their DC-3 Viewmasters", 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. Innovative as well as adventurous SPANZ provided links to provincial centres formerly either largely ignored or poorly served. The new venture proved popular with small investors and was also supported by the Australian airline Ansett. 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. Richard Waugh has recorded much of NZ's aviation history in the books he has compiled and edited, of which SPANZ was the sixth and one of the most important. First edition of 2000, 148 pages, illustrated with 12 colour photographs, with b/w photographs, maps, documents and cartoons throughout. Colour pictorial card covers VG+ with hint of wear to corners, internally excellent. Signed on title page by both authors and also SPANZ founding directors Bob Anderson and Rex Daniell.
