A fascinating and impressively informative history of the developing technology of aircraft based trans-Atlantic crossings. A seminal and welcome addition to community and college Aviation History collections and supplemental studies curriculum lists, "The Trans-Atlantic Pioneers" is especially commended to the attention of non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject.

The author Graham M. Simons presents a remarkable and well-researched history of Olympic Airways, one of Europe’s important air carriers, from its launch by oil magnate Aristotle Onassis in 1957 to its demise in 2009. Against the background of Greece’s political life, the evolution of Olympic Airways makes fascinating reading, with rare photos, timetable images, route maps and records of promotional material enhancing this flag carrier’s historical account. A most welcome bonus is offered by the author with a detailed précis of the early years of Greek aviation to the emergence of air carriers including Hellenic Air Communications, Hellenic Airlines, AME and TAE.

This book is highly recommended as it presents.. Read more

This volume is well-researched and written and as such is likely to have wide appeal to aviation enthusiasts of all persuasions, especially those with an interest in the airline itself. Aviation historians, together with military and social historians with an interest in such matters may also find it worthy of their attention, while former BOAC staff may find it interesting (and perhaps amusing) as an aide memoir when recalling ‘the things that happened’ while in the airline’s employ.
