About This Item

Sydney, Edgecliff: Focus Publishing, 1998. Hardback small quarto, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), text-photos with faint green-tinted background, minor edgewear jacket, minor rubbing corners & spine ends. 143 pp. Jim Eames relates the story of the rise and fall of the Federal Airports Corporation. During its 12 year history, the FAC became one of the world's great airport authorities, before falling victim to the privatisation juggernaut of the 1990s. An entertaining read, as well as an important source for scholars, academics and others seeking a factual account of one of the most dynamic periods of Australia's aviation history. Reveals the facts about pork-barrelling leading to questionable airport developments, the problem of airport noise, and the controversial third runway at Sydney Airport.
