Excerpt from The British Aircraft Industry: Its Industrial and Commercial Potentialities A Great new industry has been developed by war conditions so rapidly and so quietly that few perhaps realize how wonderful that development has been, and how great a factor in our lives flying is destined to become in the near future. With the object of giving business men some idea of the progress of the aircraft industry, a section devoted exclusively to it was published with the April issue of the Imperial and Foreign Trade Supplement of The Times. No attempt was made to deal exhaustively with the subject: the intention was rather to interest the general reader in probable developments than to weary him with technical detail. In short, the section was not written for the expert, but for the average business man, whose interests, though not directly concerned with the aircraft industry, can scarcely fail to be affected by this new and wonderful means of transport.
