First in a series of five volumes about British aircraft, this book provides a complete record of aircraft construction in Greater London at famous sites such as Cricklewood, Croydon, Hanworth, Hayes, Hendon, Heston, Kingston upon Thames, and Stag Lane. The aim of the series is to record British aircraft manufacture in nearly all of its manifestations, in the form of a regional survey of the United Kingdom. The scope of this volume extends to all concerns within the Greater London area involved in the manufacture of complete aircraft since the very first aircraft were flown in Britain.
