Air France 1933-1944, un turbulent décollage
In the spring of 1933, under budgetary constraints of French Air Minister Pierre Cot, the airlines Air Orient, Air Union, CIDNA and Société Générale de Transport Aérien merged to form Air France, also absorbing the famous Aéropostale. Despite a glorious heritage, the aging fleet required urgent modernization to support the company's development.
However, many obstacles stood in Air France's way, including aircraft certification restrictions and the nationalization of aircraft factories. Despite these challenges, the company passed the 100 000 passenger mark in 1938 and expanded its operations around the world.
The Second World War brought Air France's growth to a sudden halt. Despite the German occupation, the company continued to operate in North Africa for the Free French Forces. After the liberation, Air France resumed operations and played a crucial role in rebuilding the French air network.
This book provides a detailed account of this turbulent period for Air France, from its creation in 1933 to its post-war reestablishment in 1944.
