{detailed description}Few aircraft companies survive from the days when British aviation led the world and manufacturers such as Vickers, Avro, de Havilland, Handley Page and Sopwith were household names. From the dawn of aviation almost 100 years ago, to the present day, literally hundreds of aircraft companies, both well-known and unheard of, have closed down, gone into receivership, stopped constructing aircraft, been sold or amalgamated. Every part of the UK has seen aircraft manufacturing, from the large companies to the back street manufacture of one aeroplane.
British Built Aircraft — Greater London is the first in a series covering all of the aircraft manufacturers in the United Kingdom. The names of some of the companies are well-known but some others, who constructed aeroplanes purely on a contract basis, are surprising. Inside are the names and details of hundreds of firms once involved in aircraft manufacture, from the first decade of the twentieth century to the present day.
