The third in Guy Halford-MacLeod's series on the history of
independent airlines in Britain after the Second World War,
battling against ever-changing government policies, this
well-organised book takes us from Harold Wilson's first
administration through the Thatcher years, to the surprising
acceptance of Open Skies within the European Community. Britain's
Airlines focuses on the airlines, their managers, the aircraft they
flew, and the conditions they contended with for survival. Guy
Halford-MacLeod explains how the airlines made and remade
themselves, ducking and diving in a slippery and difficult ring;
and records the exploits of some well-known heavy-weights, Freddie
Laker, Lord King, and Richard Branson. There are unfamiliar slants
on the stories of the time, and this readable book offers both
structure and expert analysis of the complex issues which faced the
airlines and their regulators.
