Product Information
This history of Isle of Wight aviation presents in full detail an under appreciated aspect of Island life. For almost the entire era of powered flight, the Isle of Wight has been at the leading edge of aircraft development. For instance, it looks at the largest operational flying boat ever built and the only successful launch into orbit of an all-British space rocket and satellite. All the aircraft products of J. Samuel White, Saunders-Roe, Britten Norman and GKN Westland Aerospace are featured, as well as the minor manufacturers. It also looks at scheduled air services to and from the Isle of Wight.Product Identifiers
