Add to basketThis Time Travel Time Machine Vol 3 is from 1965 to 1970 and continues a visual time-travel through the golden age of air travel, using rare Kodachrome slides taken by everyday travellers during the 1960s, when flying was new, glamorous, and reserved for the few. Collected over more than 30 years, these spontaneous images preserve lost airlines, aircraft, airports, and onboard experiences that can never be recreated and are now almost forgotten. This Volume 3 from 1965 -1970 picks up from Volume 2 (1960 to 1964) left off, as we continue our time travel look back at the formative and early days of air travel. The author spent the past thirty plus years sourcing random traveller Kodachrome slides depicting air travel when it was new and exciting, the domain of the affluent, when most people on the planet had not yet travelled by air. These were random colour slides taken by people whilst documenting their holidays, or meeting relatives at the airport, sometimes whilst marking a special travel occasion. The images presented in these books were taken by air travellers who carried personal 35mm SLR cameras loaded with high quality 35mm colour Kodachrome slide film, and they snapped spontaneous images during all aspects of their air travel journeys in the 1960s. By the 2020s, these old slides were obsolete. Most people under the age of 35 will have no idea what a Kodachrome slide is. These old slides are now largely buried deep in long lost and long forgotten family slide collections around the world, and in many cases such Kodachrome slide images are simply discarded to the sands of time as estates are liquidated when older family members passed on. The author made one of his life callings to seek out, preserve and celebrate these amazing travels Kodachromes in these unique books. It takes ages to find these old slides, and no amount of money or budget can create such images to quickly produce another one of these books in quick order. It is impossible. This volume No 3 features all colour images taken all around the world from airport observation decks, inside airport terminal buildings, boarding and deplaning airliners, on board showing the passenger cabins and cabin service and travel comforts of the day, wing views of airliners that were retired half a century ago, featuring the iconic airline branding and logos of many of the now defunct great airlines, that for most people are long forgotten. It did not make sense to squeeze all these fabulous 1960s Kodachrome travel images into one book, to do them all justice. It was a much better idea to present the decade of the 1960s across 2 volumes, which allowed for many images to be full page bleed. Reader comments from Volume 1 frequently expressed the joy and time spent examining the background details of the amazing images. Therefore, by presenting the images as large as possible in these two volumes of 1960 - 1964 and 1965 - 1970, readers can soak up the details in all their glorious splendour. Page.
