Description

This work examines the aircraft, events and personalities that have shaped Elstree Aerodrome, from its humble beginnings in the 1930s as a landing strip associated with a country club, through extensive use for repair and overhaul of military aircraft in the Second World War, and on to becoming to one of the foremost general aviation airfields in the country.

Elstree is one of only a dozen or so civil aerodromes in the UK which have been in continuous operation for at least the last 90 years.

In peacetime Elstree became a hub for charter companies and flying clubs, and many celebrities have flown from here, enjoying its close proximity to Elstree Studios and London.

Newly updated, to include significant historical events not covered in the original edition as well as those since its 2003 publication, and with many new photographs, this expanded edition tells the full story of 90 years at Elstree Aerodrome.
