| AUTHOR'S NOTEIn presenting Flying Colours, I haveattempted to portray the vast and variedrange of colours to be seen on the world'saircraft. The majority of the photographsare of passenger-carrying aircraft whicharrive and depart daily at destinationsaround the globe, and were taken by meusing Kodachrome 25 film and selectedfrom my ever-increasing collection of over14,000 transparencies.An airline's corporate image is veryimportant and vast sums of money arepaid to design studios and agencies bycarriers anxious to keep in step withmodern trends. Styles change very fastand it is obviously necessary to choose alivery that will not date too quickly.A book of this nature cannot be producedwithout the help of the authorities, anddue acknowledgement must be made to allwho made the production of FlyingColours possible.
