Airline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4496 words)
The peak of German air travel came in the mid-1930s, when Nazi propaganda ministers approved the start of commercial zeppelin service: the big airships were a symbol of industrial might, but the fact that they used flammable hydrogen gas raised safety concerns that culminated with the Hindenburg disaster of 1937.
Bilateral agreements are based on the "freedoms of the air," a group of generalized traffic rights ranging from the freedom to overfly a country to the freedom to provide domestic flights within a country (a very rarely granted right known as cabotage).
Groups of airlines such as the Star Alliance, oneworld, and SkyTeam coordinate their passenger service programs (such as lounges and frequent flyer programs), offer special interline tickets, and often engage in extensive codesharing (sometimes systemwide).
Yap's Air Campaign (6682 words)
Air Group 265 had two pilots rated A, eight rated B, and 26 rated C. It was, however, on the date of the order assigning it to Yap still on Saipan and by the time it got to Yap it soon received orders to move south to Kau on Halmehera.
Fighter detachments of Air Groups 202, 261 and 265 suffered particularly heavy losses and many of the aircraft at Yap in early June were apparently those unable to continue the trip to the south or damaged aircraft pulled back to Yap for repairs.
Air Group 201 had one aircraft damaged in combat and two others damaged on the ground (bombers observed one plane burning on the ground).
