When the King's Flight was officially formed in 1936, passenger flying was very much in its infancy. Creating the Royal Flight under the Master of Horses Department was a most innovative action by King Edward VIII, although members of the Royal Family had enjoyed a passion for flying over many years, almost since the dawn of aviation. During a visit to Paris in 1909, King Edward VII met the Wright Brothers and watched them demonstrate their new 'Flying Aircraft'. This book covers a pictorial history of royal flying - not just the King's and Queen's Flight, but also the much wider subject of royal flying.
