Royal Vikings - The Saga of Scandinavian Airlines and Predecessors
www.air-britain.co.uk/actbooks/acatalog/RoyalVikings--148.html#SID=15
Written by well-known expert Günter Endres on Scandinavian aeronautical history, this is the history of SAS and its predecessors from 1920s to present day. DDL began a scheduled passenger service from a naval station in Copenhagen. Sweden with ABA, and later DNL in Norway, also developed significant air links with the rest of Europe. The occupation of Denmark and Norway, during the Second World War disrupted services for a time. After peace returned, the three airlines put cultural, geographic and economic issues aside, combining their resources to establish the world’s first cross-border alliance under the name of Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS). SAS has remained true to the pioneering spirit of its ancestors and established a global network, well fitted for the 21st next century.
Profusely illustrated with many unique (black & white and colour) photographs and excellent colour side views, this is a book that any civil aviation enthusiast will want to own.
A4, hardback, 262 pages, 319 photographs, 37 colour profiles.
Price: £35.00
