		Stuck on the Drawing Board
		Unbuilt British Commercial Aircraft Since 1945		Transport
		Richard Payne
		Tempus 2004 256 pages		Qty
		Paperback Illustrated 0752431722
		Published Price £19.99		Our Price £7.99
	Commercial vertical-take-off aircraft, a supersonic jetliner exceeding Mach 6 and a giant sea-plane capable of carrying 1,000 passengers and freight... These are just some of the remarkable but ill-starred projects in this account of what might have been. Illustrated with blueprint drawings and artists' impressions, it is a tribute to the designers' talent and ingenuity. It is also a condemnation of the short-sightedness and poor management that resulted in the decline of Britain's aircraft industry.
