Description
Of more recent times, the likes of Sidney Camm, Hooker and Hooper, all of whom, made VTOL more than just a dream, are also covered in astonishing and exhausting detail. Of the major firms, most at some time or other have been absorbed, merged or reorganised to form a single conglomerate, BAe Systems and Rolls-Royce are chronicled from the outset to the mighty companies they are today. Only PBN-Britten Norman – who on several occasions escaped extinction due to financial difficulties – and Westland, now part of Agusta Westland, and Short Bros of Northern Ireland remain independent, although even the latter, are part of Canadian, Bombardier Co.
