Udgivelsesdato: Jun 22, 2009

Three-part series charting the development of Britain's airports and how they have transformed the country, in the process creating both freedom and fear. This part explores the golden age of jet travel, when 'money, tickets, passport' became the mantra of the moving masses. Using rare archive and contributions from early travellers and airport workers, it looks at how airports expanded our horizons and the repercussions that these gateways of the globe had for British society. Contributors include Design Museum director Deyan Sudjic and author Sarfraz Manzoor.
