Wartime adverts
I
recently found the following adverts in a book dated 1943. I think this shows
the huge number of manufacturers that supplied the aircraft industry. These days
we tend to think of huge factories pouring out thousands of parts.
In reality during the war there
seems to be thousands of small firms specialising in different systems. This
probably explains the huge variations of parts and instruments found in RAF
Warbirds.
