Air France is one of the world’s great airlines. It is a French institution with its own unique style, part of the fabric of the country and well as being the national flag carrier. This history of Air France, published in the year of the 75th anniversary of its foundation, is as much a slice of French social history as it is an aviation title and as such, should appeal to a much wider audience than many aviation books. Following the take-over by Air France of KLM in 2004, the combined company is the largest airline in the world in terms of operating revenue and the largest in Europe in terms of passenger mileage. Formed in October 1933 as a result of the merger of a number of smaller French airlines, Air France became state-owned after World War 2, and the French state still has a significant stake in the newly combined Air France/KLM business.
