Forever Farnborough: Flying the Limits 1904-1996

by Peter J. Cooper

From the early pioneering of aircraft to new technology in the missile age, hundreds of photographs tell the story of testing and development at Farnborough, the UK's center for aeronautical research. Topics include WWI-era, immortal aircraft types S.E.5a and F.E.2; groundbreaking experiments in the '20s and '30s; top-secret testing of WWII technology, both RAF and Luftwaffe; developments in the early jet era and the missile age; and the future of this legendary airfield.
