| Publisher Description: 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. |
