Product Information
The history of England and the aeroplane is one tangled with myths - of 'the Few' and the Blitz, of boffins, flying machines, amateur inventors and muddling through. In England and the Aeroplane David Edgerton reverses received wisdom, showing that the aeroplane is a central and revealing aspect of an unfamiliar English nation- a warfare state dedicated to technology, industry, empire and military power. In a revelatory recounting of the story of aeronautical England, from its politics to its industry and culture, David Edgerton reconfigures some of the most important chapters of our history. 'Full of good stories . . . an illuminating read.' Spectator 'Edgerton has a reputation for interpreting familiar subjects in unusual, provocative ways.' The Times Higher Education 'A historian who has made it his mission to shake us out of conventional thinking.' John Sutherland, Guardian 'A formidable polemicist.'
