{"product_id":"flying-boats-charles-woodley-9780750970143","title":"Flying Boats: Air Travel in the Golden Age","description":"Flying Boats: Air Travel in the Golden Age sets out to do justice to a time of glamorous, unhurried air travel, unrecognisable to most of today's air travellers, but sorely missed by some.During the 1930s, long-distance air travel was the preserve of the flying boat, which transported well-heeled passengers in ocean-liner style and comfort across the oceans.But then the Second World War came, and things changed. Suddenly, landplanes were more efficient, and in abundance: long concrete runways had been constructed during the war that could be used by a new generation of large transport aircraft; and endless developments in aircraft meant they could fly faster and for further distances. Commercial flying boat services resumed, but their days would be numbered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Woodley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0750970146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780750970143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Charles Woodley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086805872895,"sku":"9780750970143","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_144f9d4b-4f83-467b-a604-a04d97e6fbdd.jpg?v=1769096689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flying-boats-charles-woodley-9780750970143","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
