Finnair
Aero Oy, which was later rebranded as Finnair, is one of the oldest surviving airlines in the world. It was established in 1923 and started up domestic flights alongside routes to the Nordic and Baltic regions. During World War Two, Aero Oy managed to continue its operations. After the war, thanks to its geographic location, Finnair was able to start up several routes to the Soviet Union. Later, the airline was the first carrier in the world to connect Europe with Asia via a polar route, which is considerably shorter than the conventional routes via Russia or the Persian Gulf. Flights to Asia became Finnair’s main source of income at a time when China was opening up the ‘new Silk Road’.
With more than 140 images, this book charts Finnair’s history from its beginning and shows how it has survived.

Why Buy Direct
A magazine that truly inspires
I’ve been reading Airliner World for as long as I can remember. A magazine that truly inspires, with great articles and beautiful pictures.
Aaron B
Best on the market
I’d say Airfix Model World is the best on the market. Well laid out, well written and plenty of diversity. Definitely the magazine the others strive to beat
Tim H
Most technically accurate railway magazine
Modern Railways is the most technically accurate railway magazine in the business and with writers of the calibre of Ford, Walmsley and Willias, what is not to like?
Graham H
Gets better every year
I have almost every issue of FlyPast and it gets better every year. Great detailed articles and enjoyable stories in each issue
David L
Spectacular imagery
Between the spectacular imagery and timely articles, I can think of no better magazine related to modern military aviation than Combat Aircraft

Subscribing since the 80's!
I started buying Aeroplane Monthly in ‘76 or ‘77. By the early 80’s I bought a subscription and I still have it. I love the magazine.
