Flying to the sun : a history of Britain's holiday airlines
Woodley, Charles, 1947-2016
Books, Manuscripts
'Flying to the Sun' encompasses the development of Britain's holiday charter airlines, from their humble beginnings flying pioneering holidaymakers to campsites in Corsica in war-surplus Dakota aircraft, to today's flights to exotic spots across the globe in wide-bodied airbuses. Along the way, nostalgic names such as Clarksons Holidays and Dan-Air are encountered, and anecdotes from early package-tour holidaymakers and former airline staff provide an insight into a part of our social history.
