British Aviation Posters comprises a fascinating collection of vintage advertisements during the golden era of aviation history

“飞行艺术”在一本新书中被重新审视，这本书专门介绍老式航空海报、宣传材料和平面设计。从爱德华·巴登(Edward Bawden)、约翰·派珀(John Piper)和雷克斯·惠斯勒(Rex Wistler)等人创作的艺术品，英国航空公司的海报记录了航空业的历史，从刚刚起步的客机时代到上世纪70年代的波音747巨无霸(伴随着“空中更多的起居室”)。

这本书借鉴了广泛的英国航空公司遗产收集的广告材料。这本书由斯科特·安东尼和奥利弗·格林执笔，不仅展示了航空旅行的变化趋势，还带领读者走过了英国历史、加冕典礼和1948年伦敦奥运会。该书由隆德·汉弗莱斯出版，书中还展示了艺术和设计是如何应用于在英国及其他地区推广航空的。
