Nine Lives - The Story of Biggin Hill (Hardcover)

From Battle of Britain fighter station to commercial airport, this
is the inspiring story of Biggin Hill. Â Biggin Hill,
world-famous as a Battle of Britain fighter station, has had many
lives. First used as an airfield in 1917, Biggin Hill saw brutal
action in both World Wars, never losing a day’s operations
despite devastating enemy attacks. Since 1959 two dynamic figures
have kept this historic airfield open against the odds: fighter ace
Jock Maitland, creator of the renowned Biggin Hill International
Air Fair, and army pilot Andrew Walters, who has turned it into
London’s No 1 business airport, with a thriving aviation
community that includes air charter companies, engineering firms,
flying schools, storage and restoration, and major Formula 1 and
Bombardier operations. Meanwhile a new Museum and St George’s
Memorial Chapel keep memories of its days as a Royal Force Station
alive. Â The first full history of this great airfield, Nine
Lives looks behind the scenes of a busy modern airport, digs deep
into its dramatic past, and tells an inspiring tale of enterprise,
innovation, teamwork and determination.
