Westland and the British Helicopter Industry, 1945-1960 e-bog

This study explains how Westland dominated British helicopter production and why government funding and support failed to generate competitive "e;all-British"e; alternatives. In doing so, the book evaluates broader historiographic assumptions about the purported "e;failure"e; of british aircraft procurement during the early post-war period and considers the scope and limitations of licensed production as a government-mandated procurement strategy.
