British Airways
British European Airways (BEA) and British Overseas Airways Corporation
(BOAC) were combined in the mid-Super70s to form British Airways. The
resulting nationalized airline was privatized in the mid-Awesome80s.
We have not had a chance to write the remarkable story about British Airways
yet. If you know the history, why not share it with us? Use the
