Glory Days: Yugoslavia's National Airline Through Communism

What made a country on the crossroads between East and West able to boast one of Europe's largest airlines, and how did communism affect its development? Whilst unprecedented economic growth and an increasing Yugoslav significance globally characterized the fifties and the sixties, oil crises, political chaos and long-haul flights were phenomenons which portrayed the seventies and eighties. As the apogee days of legacy carriers now are long-gone, this book is an intriguing read which examines the history of one of the world's most respected global airlines during the last half of the twentieth century and salutes the too often neglected glory days of aviation.
