Heathrow

There is a world of difference between the Heathrow of today and the rural land used for the first aerodrome at Hounslow Heath in 1914, on the site of a Celtic-Romano settlement dating back to 300BC. From the inauguration of the first international flight service to the present day, this book reveals the fascinating story of the airport that handles 35 million passengers a year, travelling to more destinations than any other airport in the world.
