Includes:: Bochum, Cologne, Dortmund, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Oberhausen & other towns, with their great network of railways & industries. The maps are taken from the British War Office 1:12, 500 plans & reduced at Approx. 1:19, 000. Published in 1945, prior to the Allied occupation of the area, the maps are especially good at showing industry, collieries & transport. They are not bombing maps
- indeed, they make clear that allowance is not made for bomb damage
- but show the areas with all their industrial sites & railways largely as they were before the bombing raids of 1943-44. The maps have additional information added by British intelligence. This is normally accurate but allowance must be made for the `fog of war` & occasional spelling mistakes, etc. Each title has on the reverse a specially written introduction to the area in English, with a shorter text in German. Map legend is in English only.

Glamour in the Skies is the first book to celebrate the stewardesses of British Airways & their predecessors from 1936 to 1980, widely agreed to be the golden age of air travel
- a time which personified optimism, excitement & a feeling of boundless opportunity for both passengers & airline crew. The air hostess, as she was known initially, began her British career in a one-engine propeller plane crossing the English Chan-nel & ended up in Boeing 747 jets & the supersonic Concorde. Ex-hostess Libbie Escolme-Schmidt combines history with hundreds of surveys & interviews from re-tired & current cabin crew, enabling the reader to follow the development of the role of the stewardess through the early years of discrimination to her present-day career equality. During this period flying evolved from a potentially dangerous adventure to a remarkably safe & comfortable means of international travel & through it all the air hostesses were there. Their appearance changed over the years, from the 1940s military look to the mini-skirts of the 1960s, & the caring mother figure to the sexy corporate prod-uct, as the role was glamorised to almost iconic status, becoming a dream career for millions of young women worldwide. Glamour in the Skies is packed with many anecdotes, ranging from administering oxygen to passengers flying over the Andes, to serving French champagne on Concorde. Covering training, sexual discrimination, disasters, passengers, glamorous stopovers & other temptations, this illustrated book presents the changing times in air travel through the eyes of the stewardess & offers the perfect tribute to the girls who walked the skies. This fabulous, richly illustrated history of air travel from the 1940s to the 1980s revels in the glamour, the romance
