1st Edition.
Although this book sets out to tell no more than the story of one firm in the history of aviation, it covers such a wide canvas that there is scarcely an aspect of the history of flight which is not included. The pages describe the faith of private enterprise, the outstanding contributions of British research in design, the skills of British craftmanship and the supreme courage of those who tested new machines, undertook pioneer flights to all parts of the world and won supremacy in the air in two world wars.
