A History of Airline Food

By Dickon Weir-Hughes

This beautifully illustrated book provides a fascinating insight into the history of airline food from 1929-2019, providing a work that will be of interest to aviation enthusiasts and food and culinary historians alike. Documentary evidence of airline food only really comes in one publicly available form, and that is airline menus. The menus used for this work form part of the author's private collection of over 1,200 menus from 91 airlines worldwide. They are catalogued so that one may enable the author to investigate the popularity of certain dishes by era. Other data is used for comparative purposes, such as world events that occurred at the time the menu was used, recipes, social trend data, geographical and sociopolitical data, the artwork, aircraft types, routes and more.
