The author has expertly recreated the story through 14 chapters which cover not only the aviation aspect – the aircraft, routes, operations and finer details – but also the human stories, including the crews and staff who were behind Britannia Airways. The enthusiast will delight in the details included, such as a complete fleet listing in the final chapter with details of every single aircraft known to have flown for Britannia up to it becoming TUI, including leased aircraft and even flying club Pipers! They will also love the many pictures of aircraft, airports and behind the scenes, including many classic views from the early days, and aircraft wearing different liveries. There’s even a chapter looking at mergers, such as that with Orion Airways and its fleet. The book is well-researched and well written, and I loved learning more about Britannia and reminiscing about my own experiences with the airline.

Oh I loved this book. As an avid aviation enthusiast, this book was so interesting, and the author included different stories alongside explaining technical terms and parts of the plane very well. Even though its a non-fiction book it was captivating and I would be reading this for hours on end. Definitely a 10/10!

The clear and authoritative text explains the basics of aerodynamics too and the interesting aspects of structure/engine integration. A good selection of photographs and schemes integrate a really well produced book.

This is a really interesting book. It is mostly text, but there are a good selection of historic photographs which haven’t been seen anywhere else, including many of the aircraft once seen at Heathrow.
