David Stringer does an exceptional job of compiling the interesting history of the U.S. local service airlines. The book is very well written and organized into an easy to read format. The pictures, both color and black and white, are well chosen and enhance the enjoyment of reading this wonderful book. I especially like the examples of the route maps, aircraft used, and timetables. These are a wonderful trip down memory lane for any former airline employee, passenger, or airliner enthusiast who were fortunate to have worked or traveled aboard one of these great airlines. As a former travel agent and airline enthusiast I have collected for over 50 years and have not seen such a great compilation of local service airline history anywhere as this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in commercial aviation. Well done, 5 stars!!! D. Martin, Evansville, IN (a former Lake Central and Allegheny Airlines city)Read full review

Mr. Stringer not only details the history of the "13 local service carriers," but includes "gone but not forgotten" airlines. Extremely well written and illustrated by genuine airline historian who once worked for one of the locals and now writes for the new spectacular Airways Magazine. This book is perfect for any airline collector or enthusiast. I highly recommend it.

Being an air enthusiast and follower, I very much liked the book. I would have liked more pictures but I guess you go with what you have and what is available. The histories were very good and I thoroughly would recommend this book.
