Description
Westland dominated British helicopter production during the early post-war period due to government funding and support. However, this dominance was not maintained and competitive all-British alternatives were not developed due to broader historiographic assumptions about the purported failure of British aircraft procurement during the early post-war period. Licensed production was also not a viable government-mandated procurement strategy due to the scope and limitations of this approach.
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.
