In 1945 Britain was the world’s main designer and builder of plane – a world-class achievement that was not mere rhetoric. And what plane they had been. The glossy Comet, the primary jet airliner. The superior delta-winged Vulcan, an intercontinental bomber that might be thrown concerning the sky like a fighter. The Hawker Hunter, essentially the most lovely fighter-jet ever constructed and the Lightning, which might zoom ten miles above the clouds in a few minutes and whose pilots rated flying it as higher than intercourse.
How did Britain so lose the plot that right this moment there may be not a single plane producer of any significance within the nation? What turned of the good trade of de Havilland or Handley Web page? And what was it wish to be alive in that marvellous post-war second when revolutionary new British plane made their debut, and pilots had been the rock stars of the age?
James Hamilton-Paterson captures that season of glory in a compelling e book that fuses his personal reminiscences of being a schoolboy aircraft spotter with a ruefully lifelike historical past of British decline – its lack of self-worth and energy. It’s the story of nice and charismatic machines and the lads who flew them: heroes reminiscent of Invoice Waterton, Neville Duke, John Derry and Invoice Beaumont who took inconceivable dangers, in order that we might fly with no second thought.
