Abstract: | On April 1st the British Overseas Airways Corporation came into existence by the amalgamation of two famous companies - Imperial Airways and British Airways. Many will regret the passing of the two names especially as they have represented all that is the best in civil aviation and have worthily maintained British prestige, but the new Company inherit a tradition that should be an incentive to them to take a leading place in air traffic. The history of the two concerns, Imperial Airways chiefly in the development of the long-distance Empire routes and British Airways in the provision of swift and reliable services to and from the Continent, provides a saga in business and technical enterprise.
