British Airways was initially created as "Imperial Airways" in 1924 following the forced merger of Instone, Handley Page, Daimler Airways and British Air Marine Navigation. In 1939 with war on the horison, the British government decided to nationalise and combine Imperial Airways and British Airways and named the resultant company British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC). In 1972 BOAC and BEA were combined to create British Airways, the UK's national airline, in 1987 British Airways was privatised. In 1988 BA acquired British Caledonian, and in 1992 acquired Dan-Air creating the second largest airline in Europe. BA operates a mixed fleet of mainly Airbus and Boeing airliners.
