Henry Tenby A keen interest in commercial aviation dates back to my pre-school years, as I can recall my grandmother taking me to watch airliners from the oberservation deck at the old Vancouver International Airport in 1967 and 1968 (age 3-4). At this age, I was also an avid builder of plastic aircraft models.. even though I was not old enough to read the instructions!

In the early 1980s (while in grade 11), I met Glen Etchells, a fellow aviation enthusiast living in Vancouver. And through Glen I was introduced to John Kimberley, Gary Vincent, Andrew Brattkus, Erik Johannesson, Ken Swartz, and Tony Hickey .. all of whom were avid photographers of commercial aircraft. It was this group that got me "hooked" on shooting airliner slides (always using kodachrome slide film).

In the mid-1980s, Ken Swartz introduced me to the famous Canadian aviation historian and book Publisher Larry Milberry. Motivated and inspired by Ken Swartz and Larry Milberry, I started writing commercial aviation related articles and submitting my work to various aviation reviews. Over the past twenty years, numerous "Henry Tenby" articles have been published in leading international aviation publications which include: Aircraft Illustrated, Wings, Airliners, Airways, Propliner Magazine, Airline Executive, and Skyliners.

Presented below is a chronological archive of most of my commercial aviation related articles. Click on the corresponding links to read articles of interest.
