  <abstract>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.</abstract>
