Meer over het boek
In "Coventry Transport 1940-1974" Roger Bailey leads us on a nostalgic pictorial journey through the Second World War, where the infamous Luftwaffe air raid wrecked the city's tram system, modelled on the local Daimler chassis. Also covered is the impact of decimalisation and finally the transference to the West Midlands Passenger transport Executive, thus ending an era of public transport in Coventry. Featuring over 150 fascinating photographs - some previously unpublished - this book is a social history of what was a very important part of this historic city. It is crammed with interesting facts and amusing anecdotes - including a small feature on loical coach operators and bus companies who were once seen in the city - celebrating the once-familiar sights on Coventry's streets that will appeal to transport and local history enthusuasts alike.
