The registration letters painted on an aircraft's tail are like its
number plate: they can reveal the story of an individual aircraft
and its different roles during its working life. Inspired by this
novel way of looking at aviation history, Guy Halford-MacLeod
follows the chequered and multi-faceted careers of forty different
airliners to present a compelling insight into the wider story of
British aviation: larger-than-life characters, politics, the
aircraft manufacturers, the state-owned corporations, the
independent airlines, some unwilling buyers, a lot of coercion, big
financial losses, cheap holiday charters and, inevitably, going
bust - the full story of Britain's airlines and the aircraft they
used. This heavily illustrated book delves into the tales of a
fascinating selection of aircraft, including many of Britain's
finest airliners now preserved at museums around the country, to
present the development of Britain's airline industry.
