Filled with photos and first hand accounts by the men who flew these aircraft make this an excellent book.

I have not read much about British aircraft from WWII. The topic has never really caught me. But for these three types I have a little more than ordinary interest. The Mosquito because it has such beautiful lines and such a high performance as only the British can make them on a good day. The Typhoon and Tempest because they ended up being formidable fighter bombers, fully on par with the P-47 Thunderbolt, USAAF's fighter bomber par excellence

This is a good and informative book which I can show more recommend without reservations show less

Commissioned to accompany the BBC TV series, it is NOT a definitive history.
While touching on the company's role in the early days of aviation, Airline is largely concerned with recent history (1980’s) - with the postwar forced merger between BEA and BOAC, the move in 1987 from the public to the private sector and the political merging of BA and British Caledonian.
