Before Aer Lingus made its first transatlantic flight, in a time when few Irish people could dream of taking to the air, intrepid aviator Alexander ` Monkey` Campbell Morgan (1919-1958) roamed Ireland`s skies, documenting towns & villages throughout the thirty-two counties. A wartime pilot for the Royal Artillery Air Corps, he launched a peacetime career in aerial photography before his tragic death in a plane crash after flying from Shannon. Gathered here are over 250 of his evocative images of Ireland on the cusp of economic & social transformation. Although the pattern of the streets is familiar, the details are radically different: a farmhouse sits in fields where an industrial estate sprawls today; a steamship chugs up the Liffey. Some of the nostalgic photos capture events such as the St Patrick`s Day Parade in Dublin, or race week in Tralee. This collection, recently recovered from the archives of the Irish Independent, is complemented by the original captions. It forms a portrait of the Ireland that existed before Teilifis Eireann, Vatican II or the European Economic Community, giving an insight into how the landscape & infrastructure of the nation have evolved. ...

Peter Biddlecombe has dragged his beleaguered expense account around no fewer than 170 countries of variable merit, which puts him literally miles ahead of every other travel writer. Wittily & informatively he brings a unique businessman`s perspective to his destinations
- Biddlecombe has to land running in order to survive. IRELAND: IN A GLASS OF ITS OWN
- in many ways the perfect marriage of author & subject
- marks a departure, as it focuses upon one comparatively small country. In this book Biddlecombe argues
- in inimitable fashion
- that the thirty-two counties can be said to represent the constituent parts of a pint of the black stuff. (Happily, the author has lost none of his famed thirst.) The roasted, malted barley, for example, comes from the farming counties: Wicklow, Kilkenny & Meath. This is Biddlecombe`s hilarious account of Ireland
- not just the coastal areas beloved of normal (I.e. lesser) travel writers but the bits in between. Particularly those bits with pubs on them. Well, just to save you the embarrassment of drinking on your own.. . Cheers.
