The end of the Second World War not only brought peace to a
war-weary population but also delivered a plethora of surplus
transport aircraft, crew and engineers, which could be easily and
cheaply repurposed to 'lift' the mood of the British population.
The dream of sun-drenched beaches in exotic places suddenly became
a reality for thousands of pioneering tourists taking advantage of
the air-travel revolution of the 1950s. From their humble
beginnings flying holidaymakers to campsites in Corsica in
war-surplus Dakota aircraft to today's flights across the globe in
wide-bodied Airbuses, Flying To The Sun narrates the development of
Britain's love-hate relationship with holiday charter airlines.
Whilst many readers today will be more familiar with names like
Ryanair and Easyjet than Clarksons or Dan-Air, this charming book
serves as a fond reminder of those enterprising airlines and
companies that ushered a new age of travel.
