The ATL-98 Carvair
The ATL-98 Carvair is a truly unusual aircraft. Converted from 19 C-54 World War II transport planes and two DC-4 airliners into a small fleet of air ferries by Aviation Traders of Southend, England, the Carvair allowed commercial air passengers to accompany their automobiles onboard the aircraft. The planes were dispersed throughout the world, operating for 75 airlines and transporting cars, royalty, rock groups, refugees, whales, rockets, military vehicles, gold, and even nuclear material. After more than 45 years, two Carvairs were in 2008 still in service. This comprehensive history of the ATL-98 Carvair, begins with corporate histories and profiles of key players, including William Patterson, Donald Douglas, and Freddie Laker. Four chapters illustrate the evolution of the car-ferry as a viable aircraft, the history of Aviation Traders, engineering details incorporated into the Carvair's production, and major Carvair operators. Chapters on each of the fleet's 21 planes provide individual histories and anecdotes. Seven appendices provide several kinds of data and the book is fully indexed.
Frank Moss Bennett, 1874-1952 (the Forgotten Artist)
It was January 2000 at a local antiques fair at Potter Bar, Hertfordshire that my husband and I purchased our first Bennett print. We bought it because my husband said he liked it (a very good reason to buy art or antiques). We arrived home and I had a really good look at the print, it was dated and signed F. M. Bennett. Not knowing the artist I decided to look him up. From the print I could tell that he was a Victorian genre artist, but what really attracted me was the quality of the artwork, it was so beautifully painted and he had a well focused eye for detail. Before I had chance to gather any more information we had purchased second print and so our passion for Frank Moss Bennett had started. I hope that as you read my book you will also discover more about this great artist and learn of his life and the times he lived in. Frank Moss Bennett's original paintings are now fetching considerable amounts of money at the auctions and are becoming very collectable.
