Mike wrote a very good book on the subject and he followed it up with another one called I think Bournemouth's airports as opposed to Bournemouth airport. I felt the first book would have been a better read if it had been expanded to cover the early days of aviation in the Bournemouth area (eg the death of Frederick Royce of Rolls Royce fame in a flying accident in July 1910).
Good luck with your project and especially good luck when it comes to trying to get photographs to use without having to pay through the nose for the privilege. One place to start I reckon would be the local newspaper archives along with the local libraries.
