Abstract

In the 1930s, far fewer passengers traveled on the airline that served the British Empire than conventional data implies. The passenger traffic pattern was also more complex than has been indicated in the literature. Recycled secondary records based on figures aggregated to boost the airline's image inflated national passenger loads and hid the share of paying vs. non-paying passengers. This paper offers and discusses reconstituted data that shows temporal and geographical variations in passenger loads. Passenger information relating to air route segments allows reappraisal of the role and impact of Imperial Airways.
