This two volume set picks up where the now sold-out Volume 1 (1940s and 1950s) left off, as we continue our time travel look back at the formative and early days of air travel. The author spent the past thirty plus years sourcing random traveller Kodachrome slides depicting air travel when it was new and exciting, the domain of the affluent, when most people on the planet had not yet travelled by air. These were random colour slides taken by people whilst documenting their holidays, or meeting relatives at the airport, sometimes whilst marking a special travel occasion.

The images presented in these books were taken by air travellers who carried personal 35mm SLR cameras loaded with high quality 35mm colour Kodachrome slide film, and they snapped spontaneous images during all aspects of their air travel journeys in the 1960s.

By the 2020s, these old slides were obsolete. Most people under the age of 35 will have no idea what a Kodachrome slide is. 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 were simply discarded to the sands of time as estates were liquidated when older family members passed on.

The author made one of his life callings to seek out, preserve and celebrate these amazing travel 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 produce another one of these books in quick order. It is simply impossible.

This 2-volume set features all colour images taken 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 day, wing views of airliners that were retired half a century ago, featuring the iconic airline branding and logos of many of the now defunct and long forgotten great airlines.

It did not make sense to squeeze all these fabulous 1960s Kodachrome travel images into one book, to do them all justice. It was a much better idea to present the decade of the 1960s as a 2-volume set, which allowed for many glorious Kodachrome images to be presented as full page bleed.

Reader comments from Volume 1 frequently expressed the great joy and time spent examining the background details of the amazing images.

Therefore, by presenting the images as large as possible in this 1960s 2-volume set, readers can soak up the image details in all their glorious splendour. Page after page, readers will relive their wonderful travel memories from more than half a century ago. This unique book series will transport the reader back in time like no other book ever published in the annals of aviation history.

Do not delay your purchase as this is a very limited production publication. Once it is sold out, it will be sold out forever.
