Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very close to new copy. Traces the rise of small, entrepreneurial airlines that served isolated communities and tourist destinations across the country. It covers operators like Southern Scenic Air Services in Queenstown, Tourist Air Travel in Auckland, Amphibian Airways, Trans Island Airways, and Golden Coast Airways. These companies often flew amphibious planes, vintage aircraft, and light twin-engine models, adapting to rugged terrain and unpredictable weather. Waugh and his co-authors—Bruce Gavin, Peter Layne, and Graeme McConnell—combine technical detail with storytelling, highlighting the personalities behind the planes, including legendary pilots like Fred Ladd. The book includes maps, facsimiles, and colour and black-and-white photographs. It also documents notable incidents, such as the 1961 Aero Commander crash involving Captain Alf Bartlett, and includes appendices on surviving aircraft and specific models like the de Havilland DH89B Dominie. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. A very clean copy with a vivid name to the first blank end paper. Scarce example. This copy is signed by Graeme McConnell on the title page. The book explains how the government brought together several small airlines after World War II to form NAC, creating a state-owned airline that connected towns and cities across the country. Over its 31 years, NAC carried more than 30 million passengers and became a household name. The book shows how NAC's fleet evolved—from early de Havilland biplanes to modern Boeing 737 jets. It highlights the importance of the Vickers Viscount aircraft, which were used on major routes and became a symbol of the airline's reliability and style. There are stories of airport development, including how Wellington's airport had to be upgraded to handle larger planes. The book also includes incidents like the 1963 Viscount slide at Rongotai, adding drama and realism to the history. What makes this book stand out is its use of over 500 photographs and illustrations. These images capture everything from aircraft interiors and uniforms to behind-the-scenes operations and promotional material. The authors also explore the social side of NAC—how it became part of everyday life, how staff formed close-knit teams, and how flying changed from a luxury to a common way to travel.
