Airlines have really played a major part in the transport industry and we always appreciate their contribution as far as mobility is concerned. In my view, national airlines are always easy to establish and maintain as they are run by public funds and therefore should be the best around the world. Today, back in 1933 France's air minister Pierre Cot formally inaugurated the country's national airline, Air France. (AYY)

Landing at the extreme ends of the earth…talk of the North pole and the South pole actually seemed interesting especially considering some myths and beliefs that existed in the early days of Scientists and explorers like Galileo. I take it as a nice adventure and in that respect, today in our going back series we remember the US Navy R4D-5 Skytrain Que Sera Sera, commanded by Rear Admiral George Dufek, that became the 1^st airplane to make a landing at the South Pole in 1956.
