The Blackburn Aircraft Company


 

bulletby Malcolm Hall, Chalford Publishing, softback, 128pp, ISBN 0 7524 0672 8

bulletReviewed by Paul Monteagle in Vol 29 No 4, Winter 1998

This volume is of a format now familiar to us, a study in well produced black and white photographs, accompanied with very informative captions. This volume also contains many previously unseen images.

Blackburn need little introduction as a company, and as such I was a little disappointed by the ten pages devoted to the 1914 - 1918 period. This is, of course, perhaps due to a lack of un-tired photographs available, but is more likely due to the affection we have for the company's later and more innovative designs. If you are a lover of general aviation there is much to entertain here, if you wish to further your specialist area of study there are more in depth volumes to be found.

The volume is of good value and recommended to fellow members.
