Civil Aviation Books
A Flying History will soon begin publishing its own range of beautifully illustrated books featuring hundreds of images from the Peter Keating Collection. Peter Keating's own career flying round the world for BOAC will form part of the background for these publications.
Voices in Flight
In association with Leading Edge, A Flying History has spent many years interviewing RAF veterans from the 1920s to the present day, a project which still continues. What has been created is an ever-growing unrivalled archive of stories and memories from more than 100 of these brave men who flew and fought for their country. Details of the television and video uses for this archive are available in the Broadcast section of this website.
The Dambuster Squadron
A Flying History's first publishing venture was Voices in Flight: The Dambuster Squadron. Published by Pen & Sword Books at the end of April 2013 to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Dambusters raid in 1943. Co-written by Colin Higgs and Bruce Vigar it features interviews with nine men who flew and fought with the RAF's elite 617 Squadron during the Second World War. From the Squadron's first operation, the famous Dams raid of May 1943, to the bridge and viaduct-busting missions dropping 22,000lb "Grand Slam" bombs, the book tells their stories.
EMPTY SKY: The Last Survivors of The Battle Of Britain
The second book in the Voices in Flight series, based on interviews with RAF airmen who fought in the Battle of Britain, Empty Sky, was also published by Pen & Sword Books. It features poignant interviews with 16 survivors of the battle.
