Kipling envisages the Board as having a tight structure and hierarchical organisation, akin to a blend of the British Merchant Navy and the Post Office, with its world centre in London. It is described as "a massive [...] organization that controls the world’s air travel and usurps the power of individual nation-states".<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In "With the Night Mail", Kipling described it as a "semi-elected, semi-nominated body of a few score persons of both sexes [that] controls this planet. 'Transportation is Civilization,' our motto runs. Theoretically, we do what we please so long as we do not interfere with the traffic <i>and all it implies</i>. Practically, the A.B.C. confirms or annuls all international arrangements and, to judge from its last report, finds our tolerant, humorous, lazy little planet only too ready to shift the whole burden of public administration on its shoulders." </p><p>Later the Board appeared in the long sequel story "<a href="/wiki/As_Easy_as_ABC" class="mw-redirect" title="As Easy as ABC">As Easy as ABC</a>", set in the year 2065 after a devastating plague. At this point the A.B.C. is effectively a reluctant and light-touch <a href="/wiki/World_government" title="World government">world government</a>, though its mandate limits it to the protection of free trade and "all that may imply". Again, here Kipling took the opportunity to slightly revise elements of the earlier story. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Publications">Publications</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Aerial_Board_of_Control&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Publications"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:With_the_Night_Mail_cover.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/With_the_Night_Mail_cover.jpg/220px-With_the_Night_Mail_cover.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="338" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/With_the_Night_Mail_cover.jpg/330px-With_the_Night_Mail_cover.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/With_the_Night_Mail_cover.jpg/440px-With_the_Night_Mail_cover.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1948" data-file-height="2989" /></a><figcaption>Cover of the 1909 book</figcaption></figure> <p>"<a href="/wiki/With_the_Night_Mail" title="With the Night Mail">With the Night Mail</a>" was published in <i><a href="/wiki/McClure%27s_Magazine" class="mw-redirect" title="McClure's Magazine">McClure's Magazine</a></i> in November 1905, and then in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Windsor_Magazine" title="The Windsor Magazine">The Windsor Magazine</a></i> in December 1905.
