While airline publicity stressed flying patriotically and in style, flying was not always slick, romantic or modern. The book also reveals the imperial sensations, sights and sensibilities experienced by those in less-privileged roles that served aviation.

About this product

Product Information

Looks at the new activity of transcontinental civil flying in the 1930s and its extension of British imperial attitudes and practices. Gathers new evidence to distil the age, class, gender and occupational profiles of people who used private and commercial aircraft and looks at how flying in the period was and is romanticised and caricatured. -- .
