Als die Swissair 1931 gegründet wurde hob der helvetische Nationalstolz ab. Die Fluggesellschaft mit dem weissen Kreuz auf rotem Grund wurde nach dem Grounding von 2001 endgültig zum Mythos. Während der siebzig Jahre ihres Bestehens verwandte sie viel Sorgfalt darauf, Menschen und Maschinen, den Betrieb an Bord und am Boden sowie die Sicht aus dem Flugzeug zu dokumentieren. Die Fotografen der Swissair bzw. ihrer Vorgängerfirmen rückten den Alltag der Fluglinie ins Bild - Flotte und Flugplätze, Piloten und Stewardessen, die Alpen und ferne Destinationen, Passagiere, Verpflegung, Werkstätten und Technik. 'Swissair Souvenirs' präsentiert die schönsten Fotografien aus diesem Bestand des Bildarchivs der ETH-Bibliothek mit einem Text des Historikers Ruedi Weidmann zur Geschichte der Fotografie bei der Swissair. Die für Werbung und Pressearbeit erstellten Fotografien prägten das Bild der Swissair als Inbegriff der Eleganz des Fliegens entscheidend mit. 'Swissair Souvenirs' ist die reich illustrierte Hommage an den Mythos Swissair.

Aerial photography had a special place in the business of the legendary former Swiss airline, "Swissair." Walter Mittelholzer (1894 1937), aviation pioneer and one of the founders of "Swissair," first trained as a photographer before joining the Swiss army s flying corps during WW I and later turning to civil aviation because of his keen interest in aerial photography. Photography was also the more profitable part of "Ad Astra Aero," one of "Swissair s "preceding companies which continued to exist as a subsidiary of the newly formed "Swissair" under the name "Swissair Photo AG" as of 1931 until 2001, when the famous airline ceased operations. "Swissair Photo + Vermessung AG" ("Swissair Photo + Surveying, "as it was later named) was saved from liquidation in a buyout in 2001 and still operates as" BSF Swissphoto." The heritage of Walter Mittelholzer and "Swissair Photo AG" is kept at ETH Zurich s Image Archive, alongside Swissair s corporate "Swissair Photo Archive" (partly published in our book "Swissair Souvenirs"). The collection comprises around 100,000 pictures taken between 1918 and 2011. In includes mainly vertical and oblique aerial photographs of landscapes, towns and villages, and mountains, but also industrial plants, infrastructures, and individual buildings in Switzerland and abroad, from the 1960s onward in color. About 15,000 of them were taken by Walter Mittelholzer. A remarkable aspect is the vast number of views of the Swiss mountains: pure landscape photography, many of them with a horizontal or slightly oblique perspective. This was caused by personal interest of the photographers, many of them also keen mountaineers, but probably also by a high demand for such pictures for postcards and other commercial use. During the 1970s there was a notable change, when a more aesthetic view of the land became dominant that rather looked vertically at shapes and colors of the cultivated landscape than at the wilderness. Around 200 of the most beautiful, most striking, and most informative photographs were selected for the new book "Swissair Aerial Photography." They show the many changes in the landscape and in settlements over nearly a century. They also are an inventory of lost elements making a landscape, such as untamed rivers, orchards, receding glaciers and moors, shrinking agricultural areas, vanished historical buildings. And they document the growth of industrial plants and other infrastructure and urban sprawl in general. The book shows how an idyllic agricultural country has turned into one of the most densely inhabited places in the world in a matter of decades. The introductory essay looks at the history and content of the collection at the Image Archive at ETH Bibliothek, the history and a range of aspects of aerial photography in general, the changing aesthetics and use of the images and what can be read from them today, technical developments and a brief history of aerial photography in Switzerland." " Series The series "Pictorial Worlds. Photographs from the Image Archive, ETH-Bibliothek, "published in cooperation by "ETH-Bibliothek" and Scheidegger & Spiess, aims at building a bridge between analytical treatment of historical image sources and the interest in individual photographs for any possible reason. Whereas the library s online database simplifies research and enables search inquiries going beyond the mere inventory, the books are meant to present the contours of specific collections of images, to embed them in the context of their origin, and to offer an introduction to the multitude of possible historical interpretations. Each volume of the series comprises an introductory essay on the given subject and presented material. Detailed captions offer additional information on individual images. This subject-guided approach and carefully selected examples are meant to give a representative view of the sometimes extensive range of a particular collection within the Image Archive. The entire series is conceived for a general audience interested in cultural history and visual aesthetics, rather than for a specialized and scientifically interested one. "

This book traces the history of the former Italian flag-carrier and those earlier airlines that were amalgamated by the state to form a single airline, events that were shaped by Italy's inter-war National Fascist Party that controlled the development of the country's air transport sector. The state's control continued after the Second World War which led to much interference and mismanagement, exacerbated by a bloated workforce, powerful unions, failed partnerships and, finally, the COVID-19 pandemic. This eventually led to the demise of Italy's icon in 2021.

Un pilote doit parfois compter sur la chance... Les 14 souvenirs retracés dans ce livre le prouvent à la perfection ! J'aurais pu raconter les vols où j'ai été brillant, génial ou même simplement héroïque. J'ai préféré relater des vols où la chance a pallié mes défaillances. Michel Vanvaerenbergh, ancien instructeur sur Boeing 737, raconte quelques-uns de ses souvenirs de plus de 13000 heures de vol. Quatorze vols, de Bruxelles à Chicago en passant par un vol d'essai avec des pilotes yéménites et par la Varsovie de la Guerre Froide en compagnie d'un ancien Flight Lieutenant de la Royal Air Force. Quatorze nouvelles épiques qui retracent l'histoire d'une époque, celle de la Sabena. Un livre qui s'adresse aux pilotes, bien sûr, mais aussi à ceux qui veulent le devenir et, surtout, à ceux que l'aventure aérienne ne cesse de faire rêver... EXTRAIT Après mes débuts en planeur à Saint-Hubert à la fin des années soixante, sous la férule de Brocart – le vrai, le père – je suis rentré à l’École d’Aviation Civile. Je me permets de citer le nom de Brocart car il ne joue aucun rôle dans les histoires que je raconte. Le seul reproche que l’administration pourrait lui faire c’est de m’avoir donné l’envie de voler. L’École d’Aviation Civile, l’EAC était officiellement l’école de pilotage de l’Administration de l’Aéronautique, mais tout le monde savait que c’était l’école de la Sabena, la compagnie aérienne nationale. L’EAC prenait les élèves ab initio et les formait, les modelait, les transformait en pilotes professionnels qualifiés sur bimoteur et pour l’IFR, le vol aux instruments. CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE Je recommande vivement à tout pilote de ligne de lire ce petit bouquin d'un pilote qui n'a pas froid aux yeux et qui a osé écrire ce que l'on disait tout bas. - Icare [...] L'humour de Michel VanVaerenbergh est incisif. Son livre est facile à lire, même pour des non initiés. - Aviation et pilote Un drôle de petit bouquin dans lequel l'auteur [...] prend le parti de raconter 14 vols épiques effectués pour le compte de la Sabena [...]. Souvent drôle, c'est toujours riche en enseignements sur la nature humaine et l'univers des navigants en particulier. - Volez À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR En 1948, Michel Vanvaerenbergh poursuit des études d’ingénieur industriel avant d’intégrer l’école d’aviation civile à Bruxelles. Pendant près de trente ans, il pilotera des Boeing pour le compte de la Sabena, la compagnie aérienne nationale belge. Devenu instructeur en vol, il donnera cours de navigation aérienne et maritime dans diverses écoles et rédigera le cours de navigation de l’administration de l’aéronautique. Son livre, Souvenirs sans gloire, se décline sous forme de 14 nouvelles.
