Description
Boulton Paul 1917-1961 is a detailed account of the company's lesser-known contributions to aviation innovation. From its formation in 1917, Boulton & Paul played a significant role in developing aircraft designs and prototypes, often ahead of their time. The book sheds new light on the company's prolific output of proposals, trials, and inventions, including radical projects such as biplane fighters and supersonic VTOL lift-fan jets. With over 60 years of research, it features development layouts, final schemes, drawings, and photographs of mock-ups, models, and prototype airframes. The author, a former apprentice and technical engineer with the company, brings valuable insight to this project, recreating many projects in CAD and other drawings. This book provides a fresh perspective on Boulton Paul's often-overlooked history, revealing their importance in Britain's aeronautical innovation for several decades.
