As environmental concerns increasingly dominate public consciousness, businesses are called upon to incorporate green methods and processes into their operations strategy. The aviation industry is no exception and is responsible for taking more actions to reduce the negative environmental impact. Designing and implementing a top-down strategy conscious of environmental impact is a monumental challenge. Only with a full understanding of the scientific and logistical hurdles can a green approach to airline operations succeed. Airline Green Operations Strategies: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential publication that examines methods of managing and limiting harmful waste and emissions from airlines and supports the adoption of the most effective green operation strategies, policies, and regulations by airlines. Highlighting a broad range of topics including greenhouse gases, noise management, and competitive priorities, this book is ideally designed for executives, manufacturers, environmentalists, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and students.

The Fairey Firefly two-seater strike-fighter emerged from troubled beginnings to become one of the most widely used and effective aircraft of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm. It first saw service in 1944 during the attacks on the battleship Tirpitz as it lurked in the Norwegian fjords, then served in the Far East as the Fleet Air Arm tussled with the kamikaze threat. It went on to form an important part of several embryonic naval air arms in the early years of the Cold War and performed a vital combat role in Korea in the early 1950s. In this book, naval aviation historian Matthew Willis tells the story of this important aircraft using more than 160 photographs, many of them rare or unpublished, accompanied by a detailed commentary covering every aspect of the Firefly's varied career from fighter, to sub-hunter, to pilot-less target drone, in air forces all over the world.
