Air Travel Time Machine Volume 3 cover

This Time Travel Time Machine Vol 3 is from 1965 to 1970 and continues a visual time-travel through the golden age of air travel, using rare Kodachrome slides taken by everyday travellers during the 1960s, when flying was new, glamorous, and reserved for the few. Collected over more than 30 years, these spontaneous images preserve lost airlines, aircraft, airports, and onboard experiences that can never be recreated and are now almost forgotten.

These old slides are now largely buried deep in long lost and long forgotten family slide collections around the world, and in many cases such Kodachrome slide images are simply discarded to the sands of time as estates are liquidated when older family members passed on. The author made one of his life callings to seek out, preserve and celebrate these amazing travels Kodachromes in these unique books. It takes ages to find these old slides, and no amount of money or budget can create such images to quickly produce another one of these books in quick order. It is impossible. This volume No 3 features all colour images taken all around the world from airport observation decks, inside airport terminal buildings, boarding and deplaning airliners, on board showing the passenger cabins and cabin service and travel comforts of the...
