Barrister and Solicitor Dr. Harold W. Poulton O.B.E., B.A., LL.M (Melbourne & Yale), J.S.D. (Yale), examines in detail the Australian Two Airline System. As Sir Billy Sneddon, K.C.M.G., Q.C. says in his foreword, "To many people civil aviation became a battleground for conflicting political philosophies … the Two Airline Policy has again acquired opposing philosophical examination."
In this volume, Dr. Poulton analyses the history of the Policy, and the politics and law around it. Dr Poulton is well placed to carry out this analysis as his civil aviation experience spans the post-war period of the industry's development and he has worked with many of its key players, including Captain E. C. Johnson, Sir Donald Anderson, Sir Reginald Ansett and Sir Shane Paltridge. Item #4935
