Many individuals, associations, airlines, libraries, and aircraft manufacturers were contacted or visited in the process of assembling this encyclopedia, work on which began over a decade ago at approximately the same time as my The Airline Bibliography: The Salem College Guide to Sources in English. Indeed, citations, press releases, and photographs for both works were initially obtained simultaneously. Following completion of the publications guide, this project has occupied much of the author’s time ever since. Almost everyone contacted over the years has responded in a gracious manner. For example, over two hundred airlines (several, such as Aeromech Airlines and the first Pan American World Airways, being no longer extant) provided information and photographs—many of them several times. All of the major fixed- and rotary-wing trade associations have also contributed facts and figures, while aircraft manufacturers have offered technical insight and photographs.
