British civil aviation now has a history of over more than 100 years, since the initial International flights took place in the early part of the twentieth century. This book provides a concise and non-technical summary of that history, including stories of both good and bad times, together with insights into some of those strong personalities whose skill, entrepreneurship and drive created the British civil aviation of today. The Author presents some personal recollections of travelling as a passenger in the late 1950s and of working in the Industry in the 1970s and 1980s. The book also covers the ""Modern Era"" of British civil aviation and includes developments in the sector to early 2025.
