These wonderful films capture the golden age of the British airline scene of the late 1940s and 1950s. This was the time
when BOAC was emerging as Britain's international overseas airline, and BEA was Britain's leading domestic and short haul carrier.
It was also during this glorious era that Britain was a world leader in the development of commercial aeroplanes with many
marques in the offing including the Brabazon, Elizabethan, De Havilland Comet, and of course the world's first turboprop, the Rolls Royce Dart powered Vickers Viscount.
The Vickers Viscount was also a huge success in North America, and was ordered in large numbers by Capital Airlines of the USA. This DVD features two promotional films that highlight the Viscount in service with Capital in the 1950s.
