The History of Stapleford is more than a story about two flying clubs and two airfields and how they evolved and merged into the Stapleford Flight Centre of today. Both made their mark on British civilian and wartime aviation. From the earliest days of airline flying to the daily sorties flown in WWII by pilots who knew they might not return - all their stories are here. But there's something else, something intangible that runs through this book. It is the spirit of flight - a spirit which has flowed unendingly from the first pioneers, flying aircraft made of canvas and wires to the glass cockpits of today. All of the characters - the famous, the larger than life and the ordinary have their stories to tell. Triumph and tragedy, it is the story of flying - the story of Stapleford.
