The author begins with a general survey of British aircraft
manufacturing in the inter-war period, focusing on the technical
and productive capacity of the industry prior to rearmament and on
government thinking on wartime expansion. Subsequent chapters
examine Air Ministry production policy, airframe and aero-engine
production, manpower supply and utilization, finance and investment
and contractual relations between state and industry. The final
chapter is concerned with the mobilization of the aircraft industry
on the outbreak of hostilities in 1939, the revision of pre-war
development and production programmes, the emergency measures of
1940 and the formulation of longer-term plans for the remainder of
the war.
