Customer Reviews —
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The Supermarine Swift was rushed into surface with the RAF during 1954 to become Britain's first second-generation jet fighter. In this role it was not deemed a success and has been burdened with a bad reputation since that time.

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2005-12-21 Summary: Well-written, engaging corporate tale ... The story of how discount airfares came to Europe is no fairy tale.

Given a wealth of material and an exciting industry, author Siobhán Creaton delivers a well-written, engaging corporate tale. The cast includes a combustible mix of powerful personalities who sometimes, ...more
