Empire of the Clouds
When Britain's Aircraft Ruled the World
How did Britain so lose the plot that today there is not a single aircraft manufacturer of any significance in the country? What became of the great industry of de Havilland or Handley Page? This book tells the story of machines and the men who flew them: heroes such as Bill Waterton, Neville Duke, John Derry and more.
