Flying To The Sun: A History of Britain's Holiday Airlines encompasses the development of Britain's holiday charter airlines, from their humble beginnings flying pioneering holidaymakers to campsites in Corsica in war-surplus Dakota aircraft, to today's flights to exotic spots across the globe in wide-bodied Airbuses. Along the way, nostalgic names such as Clarksons Holidays and Dan-Air are encountered, and anecdotes from early package-tour holidaymakers and former airline staff provide an insight into a part of our social history.
