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
