Heathrow in Photographs
A celebration of 70 Years of London’s Airport
-
Adrian M. Balch

This year, London Heathrow Airport celebrates the 70th Anniversary of its official opening.
It is hard to believe that some 70 years ago, as Britain was clearing the mess left by Hitler, work was underway next to the village of Heath Row, west of London, on the country’s futuristic air gateway.
Adrian Balch’s Heathrow in Photographs uses some 250 top quality images, mostly from original Kodachrome transparencies, to tell the 70-year story of what would become the world’s biggest airport in 160 pages, recording the changes in aircraft, airlines and infrastructure over seven decades, with something for anyone who has ever been a plane spotter or just a casual aviation enthusiast visitor to the airport. This book will evoke nostalgia and memories for those that can I say ‘I remember that’, from the late 1940s bringing the scene right up the date depicting Heathrow today.

Published by The History Press, £25.00 hardback
This book is available from www.thehistorypress.co.uk
