Publisher's Synopsis
In its relatively short life, aviation has added many thousands of memorials to those commemorating Britain's earlier history. From 18th century balloonists to the pioneers of the jet age and right up to the present, this book looks at over 1000 memorials including their exact locations and descriptive accounts of each. The memorials include details of pioneering events such the first trans-Atlantic flight, the first military aerodrome and the first North Sea crossing. This book is designed to complement the "Action Stations" series.
