This book delves into the journey that led to this remarkable achievement, spanning from the airport's opening on January 1, 1946, to the transfer of long-haul services to the Central Area in the late 1950s. This period witnessed the operations of BOAC, the pioneering British airline, up to the introduction of the Comet 4, the world's first commercial jet liner, as well as the presence of numerous foreign airlines that have since ceased to exist. Charles Woodley's captivating book unveils Heathrow's captivating history through rare and previously unpublished illustrations and informative text, offering a nostalgic glimpse into a golden era of aviation history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 308g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 232 x 165 x 9 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781398117617\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charles Woodley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":47060641808634,"sku":"9781398117617","price":11.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1737138930135_book.jpg?v=1737192630","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/heathrow-airport-the-postwar-years-9781398117617","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
