Takeshi Sakade (Japan Kyoto University)

The British Aircraft Industry and American-led Globalisation

1943-1982

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sakade challenges the narrative that the focus of British manufacturing went â from Empire to Europeâ and argues rather that, following the Second World War, the key relationship was in fact trans-Atlantic. A valuable read for historians of British aviation and more widely of 20th century British Industry.
