Delta, an Airline and Its Aircraft: The Illustrated History of a Major U.S. Airline and the People Who Made It

I was like a child on Christmas morning when this book arrived! My dad is a pilot for Delta and I have been crazy about flying my entire life! I am very proud of the airline my dad works for, so I wanted to get as many books as I can about Delta. The pictures are amazing, the history is very interesting, and the "extras" in the book (the chart showing Delta's 80-year history and what all merged together to make Delta the company it is today, the route maps, etc.) just make it an exciting item to own! It is obvious the author spent a lot of time on this book! Wonderful, wonderful book!!

As a new Delta employee this gives me a great understanding of how my company grew through merger and aquisition. There are great photos and periodic reviews through until the early 90's. The book stops abruptly prior to the dark days of 7.5 coprorate initiative but leaves an opportunity for an equally interesting follow up I hope.. FANTASTIC!
