Book Description
223pp, paperback
223pp, paperback
Chronicling the saga f the great aviation company which has occupied premises at Filton, near Bristol for ninety years has been complicated, but enthralling task. Durig its long life it has had not just a finger, but thousands of skilful hands and agile innovative brains in what has been, and still is, the complex pie of creating flying machines. From stick and string, wood and canvas to stainless steel, titanium and composites; from fixed-wing triplanes to rotary-wings; from 'up-and-down' engines to vectored-thrust turbofans and ramjets; from fighters, bombers, trainers and transports to supersonic airliners, missiles and spacecraft, as well as omnibus bodies, prefabricated houses, plastic products and expensive luxury sports cars. This company has been there and done it - for ninety years. And its name? You can choose any one from the British and Colonial Aeroplane Company Ltd to BAE Systems Airbus plc via six or more other names. However, for all real aviation people it will always be simply 'Bristol', written in that fancy scroll lettering.
