The Society’s Library— Air transport history

The Society’s Library holds an extensive col-lection of material (books, journal articles,

papers, photographs etc.) recording the inter-national development of air transport and air-line operations around the world, past andpresent, including a particularly fine collectionof early airline timetables, route maps andposters from the 1920s-1940s. Among the air-lines represented are as follows:

Aberdeen Airways LtdAero Expresso Italiana (AEI)Aero LloydAeropostaleAir FranceAir UnionAllied Airways (Gandar Dower) LtdAvio Linee Italiane S.A.British Continental Airways LtdChina National Aviation CorporationCompagnie Generale TranssaharienneCompagnie Internationale de Navigation

wealth of material relating to the aircraft andoperations of Imperial Airways. The materialincludes bound sets of its journals ImperialAirways Weekly News Bulletin 1936 No 27 —1939 No 166 and Imperial Airways Gazette1929 Vol 1 No 10 — 1939 Vol 11, annualreports, timetables, route maps, books andother papers.

In addition many references to the develop-ment of air transport (airlines, routes and theaircraft they operated) can be found recordedin detail in the contemporary aviation journalsof the time such as Flight, Aviation, TheAeroplane, Air, Airways, Air Transport andAirport Engineering and the CommonwealthAir Transport Council Newsletter, the world-wide coverage of its journal holdings being akey strength of the Society’s Library. As gather-ing such material has been a policy of theSociety’s Library since its formation, it hasresulted in probably a unique collection of jour-nals recording aviation and aeronautical devel-opments across the world, the Library holdingextensive bound runs of many important earlypre-1939 journal titles published inCzechoslovakia, France, Germany, Holland,Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Romania, Sweden,Switzerland and many other European andnon-European countries worldwide.
