HISTORY OF THE POST-OFFICE PACKET SERVICE BETWEEN THE YEARS 1793-1815 COMPILED FROM RECORDS, CHIEFLY OFFICIAL
A study of the transfer of the Airmail Route from Southern Persia to the Arabian Coast 1931-32.
Imperial Airways' Eastern Route to India and beyond originally crossed Iran. It was unclear whether Persia would renew the agreement, and Imperial Airways was left in an uncertain position.This is the story, drawn from Official records, of the steps taken to negotiate an alternative route. The story is, of course, of direct relevance to the aerophilatelic history of the Eastern route. It is also fascinating from an historical/political perspective, as it illustrates international diplomacy, as well as the problems (some of them technical) associated with running a major airline in the 1930s.It is also the story of the origins of Sharjah International Airport.
Essential reading for everyone with an interest in Imperial Airways.
Illustrated introduction, and over 240 pages of Official documents! US$75 Buy now.
