I don't make air bread, but King Arthur sells a very expensive baking 
pan for "sandwich bread". The recipe is on the KA web site 
<http://www.kingarthurflour.com>.

The pan is generically called a "pullman" pan, and they're available 
from many sources.  Commercial suppliers often sell them without the 
lids, so make sure you get a lid, if you buy from one.  You can 
improvise by putting a lightly greased sheet pan on top of a regular 
loaf pan, and putting a brick or other suitable weight on the sheet 
pan above the loaf pan.  If you use more than one loaf pan under the 
sheet pan, you want a weight above each.

If you try the recipe without covering the pans, I suspect that 
you'll find it's got big voids in it, and doesn't make good sandwiches.
