From its humble beginnings in the 1930s as a landing strip associated with a country club, Elstree Aerodrome would go on to be used extensively for repair and overhaul of military aircraft in the Second World War and would later become one of the foremost general aviation airfields in the country. Examined in this volume are the aircraft, events and personalities that have shaped it over the decades. Elstree is one of only a dozen or so civil aerodromes in the UK which have been in continuous operation for at least the last ninety years. In peacetime it became a hub for charter companies and flying clubs, and many celebrities have flown from here, enjoying its close proximity to Elstree Studios and London. With the addition of further significant historical events to bring it right up to date, and with many new photographs, this expanded edition tells the full story of ninety years at Elstree Aerodrome.
