Description
From the converted bombers of 1919, through the inter-war period of luxury travel, to Britain’s post-war airliners and the present day, this book describes the successes, failures and oddities that form the remarkable history of British commercial aviation.
For every Vickers Viscount, de Havilland Comet and BAC One-Eleven, there was a Bristol Brabazon, Saunders-Roe Princess or, technical tour de force that it was, Concorde.
Over one hundred of these aircraft are covered, each illustrated with a selection of rare photographs and accompanied by a concise development and operational history, as well as full performance data.
