About the Book

Apart from the early flights from East Moors in Splott of Capt. Willows, and then Charles Watkins, there was little to suggest that this eastern part of Cardiff would be the site of Cardiff airport, or aerodrome as it was called in the twenties and thirties. Most of the airshows, and passenger trips used the Cardiff Racecourse, which was renamed the Ely Racecourse later, but when the tide fields of Pengam were fully developed in the early thirties, flying ceased at the racecourse. There was another aerodrome used by the Cardiff Aero Club, and 614 squadron Aux.Air Force on occasional exercises, and by an Airline service briefly. It was in Wenvoe, a mile or two west of Cardiff. On the arrival in Cardiff in 1943 and 1944 of units of the U.S. army two landing grounds were established in the city, to accommodate the small spotter planes of the artillery regiment based at the Heath Camp. The move from Cardiff Pengam Moors to Rhoose on 1st April 1954 of all Civil Airline flying created another Cardiff airfield and is of course now named the Cardiff International Airport. Cardiff Airfields captures the passion of aviation from the early pioneers to the present day. The book is aimed towards readers interested in the history of the Cardiff area and aviation enthusiasts.
