| Synopsis | At the end of the Great War in 1919, William L. Mitchel -theorist and father of military aviation in the United States- predicted that air passengers would be as common as train passengers and that distances between major cities would be calculated in flight hours instead of kilometers. In 1936, John A. Wilson, head of Civil Aviation Canada, coined the term World's Airways System, which he claimed would represent a revolution in transportation. Such predictions are the guiding threads of this book. The reader will appreciate the evolution and competition among airlines for world markets, from 1919 to the current situation resulting from the covid-19 pandemic. |
