It deals with the Second World War, the development in the '50s and '60s, and the BAA takeover and the new terminal and runway.

There are sub sections on the Ferranti Flying Unit and the first crash of a Vickers Vanguard at Heathrow on an Edinburgh flight, and a look into the long battle to allow transatlantic flights from Edinburgh and not just from Prestwick, with a section on the future.
