Britain''s Airline Entrepreneurs: from Laker to Branson

English

By (author): Malcolm Turner Malcom Turner

Britain has more successful airlines than any country in Europe. When judged proportionately against the size of its population, more than any other country in the world. The explanation lies partly in history and partly in people. As an island nation which once ruled a vast empire and had to import a third of its food, transport was always vital.  In 1939, a third of the world's merchant ships were British. After the Second World War, British aircraft manufacturers competed with the United States to supply the world with airliners. At the same time, ex-military aircraft, including the ubiquitous DC3, could be bought cheaply and there was no shortage of ex-military pilots, navigators and engineers to operate them. But these facts go only part of the way to explaining the remarkable rise of British independent airlines in the 1950s and 1960s. BRITAIN'S AIRLINE ENTREPRENEURS traces the history of independent airlines from the Berlin Air Lift to deregulation.
