  1. WI no jetliners?

    What would commercial airtravel be like today if jet engines were never invented (or limited to military aircraft) and turboprops dominated the market? Granted I'm no sure how to keep jet engines from being discovered shot of ASB, but let's assume they don't exist for whatever reason. How...
