The dawn of the jet age‿in the late 1950s‿forced legacy airlines to upgrade their fleets while selling off ‿big prop‿ airliners which were still young in hours, but technically obsolete. It was an era in which scheduled airline services were strictly regulated and the smaller supplemental airlines struggled to survive. For those willing to buy or lease ‿nearly new‿ aircraft, there were bargains aplenty. In the United States, travel clubs and affinity groups found loopholes in the CAB‿s regulations allowing them to offer charters to their members at prices that were often less than half the scheduled fares. New clubs‿sometimes loosely constituted and with minimal finance‿sprang up and their brightly coloured aircraft were seen at airports across the continent. Michael Zoeller has minutely researched their history while creating hundreds of illustrations highlighting their varied and often inventive liveries.

Uffa Fox was the most celebrated and successful yacht designer in the world. Much more than a sailor and boat designer, he was an irrepressible extrovert and novel thinker, as well as a singer, musician, journalist, author, painter, sportsman, campaigner, controversial businessman and friend of royalty. In the years since his death his reputation has grown rather than diminished.

Nigel Harrisson always wanted to be a pilot. From an early age he built balsa wood models, flying them from the grounds of the Alexandra Palace, and he joined the wartime RAF as soon as he was old enough.

Fleet Street veteran Tim Walker presents 71 of the world's most celebrated people who have been analysed and defined by a master craftsman. You will, at turns, be entertained, enlightened, surprised and occasionally shocked but, best of all, repeatedly made to laugh aloud at the wit, passion, talent and foibles of those who have entertained us for most of our lives.

Jeff Gray won the Distinguished Flying Medal in command of a Lancaster bomber. After the war he flew the York, Hermes, Stratocruiser, Comet 4, and VC10. In this beautifully written memoir he takes the reader from agricultural work in rural Scotland to a Lancaster over Berlin, and on to the challenges of airline flying in the post-war years.

Britain has more successful airlines than any country in Europe. In fact, if judged proportionately against the size of her population, more than any other country in the world. The explanation lies partly in her history and partly in her people. As an island nation that had to import a third of its food, transport was always vital.

The birth and history of what is often described as the most beautiful and graceful airliner of the piston-engine age.

For each generation there is a machine, often a vehicle, which is prized for enormously more than its mechanical purpose. The DeHavilland Comet was one such; from its very first flight it won a place in the public heart that few other aeroplanes could rival.
