"Silver City Airways - Pioneers of the Skies"

by Keith J.Dagwell

March 2010 £ 14.99 paperback

Silver City Airways rose from obscure beginnings to pioneer and become world famous for it's cross-Channel car ferry service, when the only alternative was a slow sea crossing. Everyone who was anyone, from the Prime Minister to royalty, flew Silver City. Based in Kent on the Dungeness Peninsular, and eventually expanding to Southampton, in its hey-day the airline ran 240 cross-Channel flights in a day and their airport at Lydd was busier than Heathrow !

  • Packed with previously unpublished pictures from the Silver City Association archive.
  • The first dedicated history of this unique airline.
  • Includes stories from passengers and worker involved with the airline, from the Berlin Airlift to cross-Channel car ferrying.

Silver City Airways achieved far more than the car ferry service, however, and the extraordinary airline has a fascinating history. From playing a part in the Berlin Airlift to freighting racehorses, and from running scheduled passenger flights around the country to breaking speed records across the Atlantic and flying Dakotas in the Libyan desert, this book follows its story.

Available to order from The History Press and ordered through their website priced £ 14.99
