This is a fine original example of the very rare limited edition of the nazi aviation directory TRANSAER Handbuch des Internationalen Luftverkehrs (Handbook of International Air Transport or Manuel De Transport Aerien International, Manual De Transporte Aereo Internacional). It is a 7-1/2 x 9-3/4 inches, 546 pages heavily illustrated linen hard cover with silver blocking, of which only 2000 copies were published in four languages (German, English, Spanish and French) in late 1937 for Richard Pflaum Verlag of Munich.
According to the foreword by authors Fischer von Poturzyn, Dr. Heinz Orlovius and August Dresel, this book was meant to be a reference for all who wished to have information about commercial aviation in view of the fact that air travel around the globe had become a reality.
After the introductory chapter about world air travel there is a very comprehensive list of airlines by country, a short history of many national airlines, its founders, their flight network, fold-out world map with airline routes, the IATA (International Air Transport Association) and its history and members.
