Description

Covering the early history of Heathrow Airport, Charles Woodley examines the development of London Airport's North Side. Filling a gap in aviation history, the book covers the north side up to its final closure in 1970 when flights transferred to the South Side terminal. Illustrated with a wealth of archive photographs and much nostalgic appeal, the book remembers many of the favorite aircraft to fly from Heathrow over the years, including Stratocruisers, Comets, and Constellations, and recounts a multitude of memories from airport and airline workers over the years. This affectionate book recalls days gone by and will appeal not only to propliner aircraft enthusiasts but also to anyone who had an association with the airport, looking at the early years through the eyes of those who worked there.
