520 "In this gorgeously illustrated collection of airline
route maps, Mark Ovenden and Maxwell Roberts look to the
skies and transport readers to another time. Hundreds of
images span a century of passenger flight, from the
rudimentary trajectory of routes to the most intricately
detailed birds-eye views of the land to be flown over.
Advertisements for the first scheduled commercial
passenger flights featured only a few destinations, with
stunning views of the countryside and graphics of
biplanes. As aviation took off, speed and mileage were
trumpeted on bold posters featuring busy routes. Major
airlines produced highly stylized illustrations of their
global presence, establishing now-classic brands. With
trendy and forward-looking designs, cartographers
celebrated the coming together of different cultures and
made the earth look ever smaller. Eventually, fleets got
bigger and routes multiplied, and graphic designers have
found creative new ways to display huge amounts of
information. Airline hubs bring their own cultural mark
and advertise their plentiful destination options.
Innovative maps depict our busy world with webs of
overlapping routes and networks of low-cost city-to-city
hopping. But though flying has become more commonplace,
Ovenden and Roberts remind us that early air travel was a
glamorous affair for good reason. Airline Maps is a
celebration of graphic design, cartographic skills and
clever marketing, and a visual feast that reminds us to
enjoy the journey as much as the destination"--|cProvided
