Uttley Westland and the British Helicopter Industry, 1945-1960 Licensed Production versus Indigenous Innovation 1 Oxford Routledge 20151126 256 p 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. 3395 3395
