defunct airline archives
Pan Am's archives are now with a univesity in Florida. Does anyone
know of the location of other defunct airline archives? What usually happens to all the historical files of a bankrupt airline; do the lawyers just shred them when the case is closed? |

defunct airline archives
I think Pan Am is a special case. Ansett (Australia), Braniff and Eastern
(United States), to name just threecarriers, weren't as internationally known - Pan Am was, after all, for many years the "de-facto" flag carrier of the United States (which led to a degree of arrogance which probably had something to do with their demise, IMHO). Other major international bankruptcies such as Swissair and Sabena are too recent, and bankruptcy/merger situations such as Canadian International, TWA, are too recent. But many of these carriers do have web sites maintained by volunteers. Jeff "Todd" wrote in message om... Pan Am's archives are now with a univesity in Florida.
