Abstract

The task of opening transatlantic flights between North America and Europe was commercially attractive but technically difficult. This paper reviews four stages in its implementation in the 1920s – 1940s: the attempts at world-beating flights across the Atlantic; the use of dirigibles; a short-lived exploitation of flying boats; and the beginning of regular passenger flights after WWII. The use of flight range extension methods such as fuel terminals in the ocean, in-flight refueling, and combined airplanes is described.
