Description

The History of Stapleford is more than a story about two flying clubs and two airfields and how they evolved and merged into the Stapleford Flight Centre of today. Both made their mark on British civilian and wartime aviation. From the earliest days of airline flying to the daily sorties flown in WWII by pilots who knew they might not return - all their stories are here. But there's something else, something intangible that runs through this book. It is the spirit of flight - a spirit which has flowed unendingly from the first pioneers, flying aircraft made of canvas and wires to the glass cockpits of today. All of the characters - the famous, the larger than life and the ordinary have their stories to tell. Triumph and tragedy, it is the story of flying - the story of Stapleford.

Author Biography:

John Pullen has spent most of his career in media, first as a cameraman, then as a writer, director and producer of factual programmes. His worst moment came when he accidently hit Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher hard on the head with his video camera. Throughout his life he has had a passion for flying and has been a pilot for 25 years. The aircraft flown have included singles, multi-engines and military jets. He has also written many books over the years, both fiction and non-fiction. The latter encompasses general and professional aviation, medicine and history. A number of his novels are fantasy adventures and are aimed at "young adults and adults who are young". Currently he lives near London and for relaxation flies planes and plays tennis.
