Using over 300 photographs, Roy Humphreys tells the story of civil and military aviation in Kent. From the excitement and glamor of early pioneers on the Isle of Sheppey, to the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) in the First World War; from the golden age of flying in the 1920s and 1930s (when flying for pleasure became a reality) to the airfields of the Second World War and the present day – all facets of aviation history are captured. Carefully selected pictures and detailed informative captions will interest anyone who knows and loves the county of Kent, as well as aviation enthusiasts.
