Matthew R. H. Uttley

Westland and the British Helicopter Industry, 1945-1960

Licensed Production versus Indigenous Innovation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study explains how Westland dominated British helicopter production and why government funding and support failed to generate competitive "all-British" alternatives. In doing so, the book evaluates broader historiographic assumptions about the purported "failure" 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.
