Schweitzer Klassifikation
Grant Peerless was born in St Albans in 1943 and followed a career in civil engineering until taking early retirement in 1999. He then returned to his life-long interest in aviation, particularly airfields in the UK and following extensive research co-wrote two books with aviation journalist and photographer Richard Riding: 'Elstree Aerodrome - The Past in Pictures' (Sutton Publishing 2003) and 'Leavesden Aerodrome - From Halifaxes to Hogwarts' (Amberley Publishing 2011). He has also had several articles published in 'Airfield Review'.
