Newark Airport (Paperback): Henry M Holden Newark Airport (Paperback)

Newark Airport was the first major airport in the New York metropolitan area. It opened on October 1, 1928, occupying an area of filled-in marshland. In 1935, Amelia Earhart dedicated the Newark Airport Administration Building, which was North America's first commercial airline terminal. Newark was the busiest airport in the world until LaGuardia Airport, in New York, opened in 1939. During World War II, Newark was closed to passenger traffic and controlled by the United States Army Air Force for logistics operations. The Port Authority of New York took over the airport in 1948 and made major investments in airport infrastructure. It expanded, opened new runways and hangars, and improved the airport's terminal layout. The art deco administration building served as the main terminal until the opening of the North Terminal in 1953. The administration building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Captain Ed Owen
R531 Discovery Miles 5 310 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

While admittedly somewhat limited (about the width and height of an aircraft windscreen) and woefully short of the "big picture," the pilot's perspective offers some unique insights into the vagaries of life. Those insights are presented in "This Is Your Captain Speaking" as a series of tales that, while amusing and lighthearted, give reason to pause and think.

Put your seatbacks into the full-upright and locked position, stow and lock your tray tables, and sit back and enjoy the ride.

A Very Political Railway - The Rescue of the North London Line (Hardcover): Wayne Asher A Very Political Railway - The Rescue of the North London Line (Hardcover)
Wayne Asher
R693 Discovery Miles 6 930 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The North London Line from Richmond to Broad Street, and later, to Stratford was the capital's Cinderella railway for many years. An official report in 2006 called it 'shabby, unsafe, unreliable and overcrowded.' It was threatened with closure under the Beeching Axe in the 1960s and again in the 1970s, escaping on both occasions due to organised and effective protest groups. Today it thrives as a key part of Transport for London's Overground network, and the story of how it survived closure threats and lack of investment is essential to an understanding of the politics of public transport in London over the past half century

This book explores the phenomenal resources dedicated to understanding and encouraging passengers to consume travel from 1900 to 1939, analysing how place and travel were presented for sale. Using the Great Western Railway as a chief case study, as well as a range of its competitors both on and off the rails, Alexander Medcalf unravels the complex and ever-changing processes behind corporate sales communications. This volume analyses exactly how the company pictured passengers in the countryside, at the seaside, in the urban landscape and in the company's vehicles. This thematic approach brings transport and business history thoroughly in line with tourism and leisure history as well as studies in visual culture.
