Heathrow Airport: The Post-War Years

By Charles Woodley

In this lavishly illustrated history of Heathrow Airport in the post-war years, Charles Woodley reveals how it established itself as the country's leading aviation hub. It tracks the story from its opening on 1 January 1946 until the transfer of long-haul services to the Central Area in the late 1950s. This era included the operations of BOAC up to the Comet 4 era, as well as many foreign airlines that have since become extinct. With rare and previously images throughout, this nostalgic look back at a golden period of aviation history will delight enthusiasts both young and old.
