This collection of unique chemical lab image creations from more than half a century ago offer a fascinating time machine to view the wonderful world of airlines, air travel, and aviation in its early days of post-war advancement. You are about to experience 288 pages of glorious Kodachrome colour, showcasing air travel and aviation during its post-War Golden Age.

The author has made it one of his life missions to assemble a growing collection of unique and fascinating Kodachrome images created in the mid of the last century, that were spontaneous photographic captures of every day air travels, at a time when the vast majority of the population were still travelling this great world by ocean liner.

The 288 pages that are presented in this volume will offer a look back to an era where people travelled in style to the four corners of the globe by modes of air transport that were very much still in their infancy.

What we take for granted today, when we drive to the airport and board our flight, is that it all evolved from the humble and decent travels that were documented by spontaneous Kodachrome slide captures by random people all around the world decades ago.

Henry's interest in aviation dates back to at least 1967 when his grandmother used to take him to the open air observation deck at Vancouver's South Terminal to view Air Canada Viscounts, Vanguards and DC-8s at three years of age. This led to a life-long passion of all things related to commercial aviation. After graduating with a BBA in Aviation Management from the University of North Dakota and an MBA from UC-Irvine in 1989, Henry worked for NWT Air in Yellowknife and has been self-employed with his aviation hobby related businesses since 1999. Numerous articles have been written for aviation publications including Airliners, Propliner, Airways, Aircraft Illustrated and others, and a keen interest in airline video production has resulted in his releasing over 60 classic airliner DVDs.

Reviews for Air Travel: Time Machine: Volume 1 1942 - 1960. Kodachrome Memories

The book arrived yesterday. It's a masterpiece! No sooner had I opened the package than nearly three hours vanished - I really was that engrossed! And the photography is spectacular. I can barely guess at the number of hours you must have put in to come up with such a high-quality selection. It's surely unique in its revelation of the vernacular aspect of air travel, with people really interacting with what's going on. I love it! A very original perspective on which to focus - one which I don't recall seeing before (and I've got a pretty large commercial aviation library). It contributes a huge amount of necessary information to the record of airline history and evolution. I really didn't mean to write an essay about it - but I'm simply overwhelmed by nostalgia! Seriously, I think the sheer authenticity of the view is what grabbed me. I also note, to my personal satisfaction, that Stratocruisers are thoroughly well-represented! Henry, congratulations on a masterful piece of no doubt very hard work. Thank you for making all this material available. I'm very much looking forward to the next volumes. All the best - and bravo! Robin Dunn Just received your book. What a feast for the eyes! I've always wanted an aeroplane book just like this. Not just boring views of aeroplanes, but living witnesses to a bygone era. I'm already looking forward to the next editions. Best wishes from Switzerland! Peter Guenthard What a wonderful book! Absolutely stunning...I have been an aircraft mechanic all my life, starting in the Air Force, Corporate, and then Republic, Northwest airlines. Now retired but have seen a lot of aviation books in my life and this one tops the list!!! I Can't wait for volume 2! Please put me on the list. Thank's again for your efforts. Mark Bohlke I received you book today. That is the nicest book on classic aviation I have ever seen. Mario Biondi I received the book yesterday. A fabulous page-turning experience has begun. I had not realized there would be so much content. I like that it states that this is Volume 1 - more to come. Joanne Hogan WOW!....BEAUTIFUL book, love it! The quality is outstanding. WW2, 50's and 60's are the years of aviation development that I enjoy the most. Is there a ""Volume Two"" in work? Robert Badialdi I would like to express my joy and delight having purchased the ""Air Travel Time Machine - volume 1"". It is a thrill to turn each and every
