Volume two of Flying Tiger Archives stands in testament to Guy Van Herbruggen’s unwavering passion and dedication to the Flying Tiger Line. Delving into the 1966 – 1989 era, it chronicles the twilight of the Lockheed Constellation and Canadair CL-44 props, followed by the classic jets – Boeing 707, DC-8, the 747 Classic, and the 727. Through 375 meticulously restored images curated by the Flying Tiger Line Historical Society, the aircraft, personnel, special chapters, passenger services, acquisition of Seaboard World, tragedies and triumphs of this period are vividly brought to life. As with Vol 1, this collection dives into the never-before-seen archives of the pioneering Flying Tiger Line, through the golden age of the propliner up to the arrival of their first jet, the Boeing 707. Aviation pioneers, Hollywood stars, presidents, pistons, and propellers create a stunning portrait of a bygone age
