This book will appeal to aviation engineers, air traffic
controllers and all pilots who have taken a U.K. commercial pilots
license. It explains how the U.K. Civil Aviation Flying Unit (CAFU)
was formed during WWII and the work for which it was intended. How
Flight Inspection methods were evolved to meet increasing
challenges of improving navigational and landing aids and to ensure
suitable flying standards were set for the issue of newly created
licence requirements. It details the aircraft provided, their role;
the seemingly ever changing Ministries from MCA to the CAA . It
plots the beginning and the end of CAFU, asking how and why this
occurred; tracks the changes of Ministries, policies, airfields,
aircraft, inadequate housing, staff levels and pay, of aircrew and
engineers who gave themselves to the safety of aviation, ensuring
that to-days commercial aircraft are able to land in zero
visibility conditions safely. It is a post-war history of the
United Kingdoms effort, to be at the forefront of international
aviation safety that is enjoyed by all who fly today. Whether you
are a passenger or pilot, CAFU was a small part of this process and
one to be proud of.

The book invites the reader, both Volvo fans and those with a more
general interest in motoring – on board the company’s landmark
cars. Volvo Model by Model brings Volvo to life with the feel of
the cars from behind the wheel, from the side-valve ÖV4 to the
electric C40, with legends like the 240, the XC90 and the 850 in
between. Volvo’s marketing strategies from safety to sporty and
back again are examined, with thoughts from contemporary road
tests. So buckle up your Volvo-patented three-point safety belt,
and prepare for the ride. In the 2020s Volvo is undergoing a
resurgence, gaining mainstream desirability with record sales for
six consecutive years. There is also huge interest in wider
Scandinavian culture and design. Volvo Model by Model is a new look
at the cars and cultural impact of Volvo. Always daring to be
different, no other car manufacturer encapsulates its home nation
so completely, accounting for one third of the Swedish dream Villa,
Volvo, Vovve. Volvo started in 1927 but the open-topped ÖV4
didn’t sell well in the harsh Swedish climate. This was a rare
misstep, although there have some challenging aesthetics on the way
like the 760. Volvo survived a failed marriage with Ford, which
still produced one of the company’s all-time best sellers. Volvo
now has another home, China. Parent company Geely enables Volvo to
freely express its Scandinavian style, and today’s slick Swedes
were voted the best-designed range of cars by British motorists.
Concept Recharge points the way to an electric future.
