Description
This
collection of unique chemical lab image creations from more than half a century
ago offer a fascinating time machine to view the wonderful world of airlines,
air travel, and aviation in its early days of post-war advancement. You are
about to experience 288 pages of glorious Kodachrome colour, showcasing air
travel and aviation during its post-War Golden Age.The author
has made it one of his life missions to assemble a growing collection of unique
and fascinating Kodachrome images created in the mid of the last century, that
were spontaneous photographic captures of every day air travels, at a time when
the vast majority of the population were still travelling this great world by
ocean liner.The 288 pages
that are presented in this volume will offer a look back to an era where people
travelled in style to the four corners of the globe by modes of air transport
that were very much still in their infancy.What we take
for granted today, when we drive to the airport and board our flight, is that
it all evolved from the humble and decent travels that were documented by
spontaneous Kodachrome slide captures by random people all around the world
decades ago.

Persons
Henry's interest in aviation dates back to at least 1967
when his grandmother used to take him to the open air observation deck at
Vancouver's South Terminal to view Air Canada Viscounts, Vanguards and DC-8s at
three years of age. This led to a life-long passion of all things related to
commercial aviation. After graduating with a BBA in Aviation Management from
the University of North Dakota and an MBA from UC-Irvine in 1989, Henry worked
for NWT Air in Yellowknife and has been self-employed with his aviation hobby
related businesses since 1999. Numerous articles have been written for aviation
publications including Airliners, Propliner, Airways, Aircraft Illustrated and
others, and a keen interest in airline video production has resulted in his
releasing over 60 classic airliner DVDs.
