Extract

In this Centenary Year of our Society I look back over the last fifty years in which I have been actively engaged in aviation. During this time the development of aircraft and now aerospace vehicles has been spectacular. It must be very difficult for younger members of the Society whose activities in aviation may have started after 1945 to visualise the intense activity in aircraft development which occurred before the last War, and which laid the foundations for the present complex aircraft.
