Hello there,
I have written a book on the history of Braniff International Airways, from 1948 to 1982. (It was renamed from Braniff Airways to Braniff "International" Airways because in 1948 it started international operations.)
I asked Christian to allow me to promote the book here, and he was ok with it. Thanks Christian.
Here is some info on the book:
This is my blurb for the book:
"Braniff International Airways revolutionized the civil aviation industry in the 1960s with its colorful and enigmatic President, Harding Lawrence. It went from an airline which was not dissimilar from other U.S. airlines, to an airline that infused color and soul into its image, and its passengers. This is the story of that airline. From the founders Paul and Thomas Braniff, to the bright airliner colors, unforgettable advertising campaigns, pizzazz, and High Couture air hostess uniforms, Braniff was unmatchable. This was an airline that Texans were proud of – Braniff International Airways, The Texan Giant."
One important thing I would like to point out is that the book was vetted, and approved by the President of the Braniff Airways Foundation, Mr. Ben Cass. He is also an ex-pilot of Braniff International. This snippet is from the foundation's website can give you an idea of what they stand for: "The Braniff Airways Foundation is currently spearheading the effort to preserve the history of Braniff Airways, Inc., through collecting, preserving, promoting, and protecting the carrier's legacy." Mr. Cass also assisted me by providing some more insight into Braniff.

The book is divided into the following 4 parts:
1)The history of Braniff International Airways, 1928 to 1982.
2)Over 60 color photos of every airliner used by Braniff International from 1948 to 1982.
3)Images of Braniff’s timetables, from 1931 to 1982.
4)A full data (production) list of all Braniff International aircraft operated from 1948 to 1982.
