Empire of the Clouds by James Hamilton-Paterson

Empire of the Clouds : Paperback : Faber & Faber : 9780571247950 : 0571247954 : 09 May 2011 : How did Britain so lose the plot that today there is not a single aircraft manufacturer of any significance in the country? The author captures that season of glory in a book that fuses his own memories of being a schoolboy plane spotter with a ruefully realistic history of British decline. It is the story of machines and men who flew them.
