Propliner Annual 2023

Tony Merton Jones

This year’s edition are that it is record-breaking 172 pages with over 20 major feature articles, including the third part of the French Independent Airlines series, an in-depth feature on Trans World Airlines’ fleet of 28 L-1049G Super Constellations with some glorious colour pictures, we spotlight the rebirth of the Junkers F-13, and chronicle the fascinating life of a pilot who flew Stirlings (in the RAF), Tudors with Airflight, William Dempster and Fairflight, Lancastrians with Skyways and many other ‘propliners’ before reaching the age of 30. Two news sections provide coverage of North America and the rest of the world, while other topics to whet the appetite include North Coast Air Services, a Royal Tour of South America by Dart Herald in 1962, an aircraft salesman’s view of U.S. Commuter airlines of the eighties, and the 22-year service life of the Andover with the Royal New Zealand Air Force.

A4, softback, 172 pages.
