I have read a few books about Britain, Airlines and Aircraft. I had late relatives who were heavily involved with the industry. I always like to read books to see if I can learn more about this subject.
I perceived this book to be written partly in the opinion of the Author, and his musings. I found that it didn't always flow well. Some of the sentences were long, and there were lots of "quotes".
The subject and historical significance was interesting though and very informative. It would have been nice to have a few more photographs, but there were still quite a few.
If you enjoy reading about these subjects then it is interesting.

I love aircraft (and spacecraft for the matter), so whenever I see a book about aircraft I get a little bit too excited. I have been to numerous aircraft museums over the world and I still cannot wait to go to even more. To have a book about Britain’s Aircraft history (I am originally from England) is the perfect way for me to indulge my love of all thing aviation.

Britain’s Glorious Aircraft Industry read more like a research paper than I was expecting. By research paper, I am saying that it has 14 appendixes, which take up a good quarter of the pages.

I honestly do not feel the need to even attempt to describe what Britain’s Glorious Aircraft Industry is about because the books title says it perfectly. Hodgson goes to lengths to cover absolutely everything that you could possibly need to know about Britain’s aircraft history, and no detail if left out.

This is the type of book that appeals to a very niche market, but it is absolutely perfect for what it delivers. I admire Hodgson dedication to detail in his research of this topic, and his passion for the subject defiantly shows through in this book.

For the avid aircraft enthusiast who want to know everything, and I mean everything, about Britain’s aircraft history.
