The book, Nostalgia North American: Colorful Publicity Of The Trunk Airlines Of The U.S. And Their Ancestors is the companion volume to Nostalgia Panamericana, which focused mainly on Pan America Airways and its associates.  In this book, the focus is on the history of the other North American airlines, their predecessors and their early landplanes during the glory days of airline expansion that took place in the 1920s and 1930s.  The progress of American, TWA and United Airlines, their mergers with smaller airlines to complete their route structures and their acquisitions of ever larger and faster aircraft fueled a race between trunk airlines to offer the best "coast-to-coast" service.  This frenetic pace of expansion is reflected in the colorful artwork of the various airline baggage labels, timetables and sales brochures.  The author of this book freely admits that it was impossible to include all the material from the various United States airlines operating in the 1920s and 1930s in the 64 pages allocated for this book.  The cost of color separations and the desire for uniformity in both size and price in the author's related series of books meant the material from many of these early airlines had to be omitted.  Specifically, the author had to pass on material from airlines like Embry-Riddle, National Airlines, Delta Air Service, General Airlines, Inland Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Gilpin Airlines, Pickwick Airways, Rapid Air Transport, Mamer Air Transport, Varney Air Lines, Varney Speed Lines and many more.  The major sections of this book include a Foreword, Introduction and colorful illustrations from the following airlines: 1) The AeroLimited-Aeromarine (1920); 2) Florida Airways (1926); 3) P.R.T.
