A story that starts with the planning, during World War 1, that lead to an inaugural first scheduled flight on the 25th August 1919 and then moves forward to encompass the first sixty years of what has become British Airways. Filled with more than 200 photographs, some in colour, plates and route maps also looks at the technological developments that have shaped modern air travel, up to the arrival of Concord, with some hints of the hypersonic future that has yet to arrive.

Written by the noted British test pilot Harold Penrose.

Very good condition, with a typed dedication inside the front cover.
