Air Travel Dissertation
Hello chaps,
Just wondering if anyone has any bright ideas about where I can find a good aviation library/archive. I'm a history student, PPL, aspiring professional pilot and aviation enthusiast, so it makes good sense that I do my dissertation on air travel. Haven't narrowed the topic down yet, largely as I haven't unearthed much material. Been down to the nearby National Railway Museum library, which oddly enough hasn't been too much help...
Thanks,
Proctor

How about Cranfield University? The Dept of Air Transport there should be able to help, and the university library has a pretty good archive of the industry journals and magazines.

Have you tried just down the road from you at Elvington?
Its been a few years since I have been there, but they might have some inspirations for you.
Yorkshire Air Museum
Good luck

Cranfield looks like a brilliant idea. Thanks for the link, Cyrano. As for Elvington; from what I can recall it's pretty military-focused. However, 'tis but a short bike ride away, so I shall probably head down there and have a look. Cheers Trevor.
