Description
Heathrow Airport: The Post-War Years The post-war years saw Heathrow Airport emerge as the UK's leading aviation hub. This book explores the airport's development from its opening in 1946 until the late 1950s, a period marked by significant changes in the aviation industry. During this time, BOAC operated until the introduction of the Comet 4, the world's first commercial jet liner, while many foreign airlines that have since ceased to exist also played a role. Rare and previously unpublished illustrations accompany the informative text, providing a nostalgic look back at this pivotal era in aviation history. Charles Woodley's in-depth examination of Heathrow's story offers a unique insight into the airport's fascinating past.
