Book description

Organised flying in Yorkshire goes back to the earliest days of aviation when, in 1909, one of the first flying meetings in Britain was arranged at Doncaster. It could be argued that it goes back still further to the days when Sir George Cayley carried out his manned glider experiments in the mid 1800′s!

Within the pages of Post-War Yorkshire Airfields are images of operations at Airfields, as well as of buildings, aircraft, and the people who flew from them. Airfield memorials, aircraft manufacturers and forgotten airfields are covered, and they all illustrate how Yorkshire has made a significant continuing contribution to aviation history.
