Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Albatross SIG] Albatrosses Seminar Feb. 25 4:00 PM Guillaume de Syon

The Albatrosses Aerospace History Seminar will meet again at 4:00 p.m. EST on February 25, 2021, when Guillaume de Syon will welcome comments and feedback on his paper, “The Parlor Game or, when Diplomats sold Concorde in the USA, 1970-1979.” This works-in-progress focuses on the behind-the-scenes actions that France and United Kingdom undertook to “rescue” the troubled supersonic airliner. Using material declassified between 2003 and 2019, it charts how diplomats courting American elites became salesmen to a degree unequalled prior to the SST project.

Guillaume de Syon has taught history at Albright College since 1995. His fields of research interest include the cultural history of aerospace as well as twentieth-century European popular culture, notably comic books and postcards. He is the author of Zeppelin! Germany and the Airship, 1900-1939 (Johns Hopkins 2002, pbk 2007) and numerous articles and book chapters on aerospace history.

For security reasons, please email seanseyer@ku.edu to preregister. The pre-circulated paper and conference Zoom link will be provided a week prior to the scheduled date.

All the best,

Sean Seyer

Assistant Professor, University of Kansas

Author of Sovereign Skies: The Origins of American Civil Aviation Policy
