The early airline industry owed its existence to WW 1 developments as many fledgling Airlines used converted military types for their first commercial routes. The early names all evolved from military manufacture such as Boeing, Bristol, Douglas, Vickers, Dornier, Fokker etc. Immediately post WW 2 the same conditions applied but the Manufacturers soon realised the potential for specialised designs to serve the requirements of the passenger industry so a world-wide industry soon grew up serving local and international operators.
