Balair - Als Fliegen noch Fliegen war

It comes at the right time: When the last flight of the Balair successor airline Belair takes off from Zurich in autumn 2017, the first comprehensive history of the large Basel airline will be available.
What the editor, writer and author Trudi von Fellenberg has written is nothing less than a reappraisal of what is probably the most exciting chapter of Swiss civil aviation ever.

Richly illustrated with many rare photos, reliably researched and enriched with heart and a pinch of aviation petrol and kerosene, the author not only presents aircraft, but also the people behind the airline.
In numerous interviews with women and men from the very beginning, she has succeeded in capturing the "spirit" of Balair and creating a lasting monument to this oldest Swiss airline and its employees, crew members, mechanics, loadmasters and salespeople.
