This book will provide a full history of the airline and the development of Air France in terms of its aircraft and the also the routes which it operates, but it will also explore the social aspects of the airline and how it has come over the years to represent France in a much more overt way than many flag carriers and present itself as a symbol of the style and culture of the country. Also recorded are the many airlines that were associates or part of the make up of Air France in recent years and the diverse aircraft types and airlines that provide the current national and sometimes international feeds to AFs main hubs at Paris Charles De Gaulle and Orly, and Lyon.
