Empire of the clouds : when Britain's aircraft ruled the world

Hamilton-Paterson, James2010
Books, Manuscripts

How did Britain so lose the plot that today there is not a single aircraft manufacturer of any significance in the country? And what was it like to be alive in that marvellous post-war moment.
