About

Biography of Roy Chadwick, one of the most significant personalities in the aviation world in the first half of the twentieth century.

His career encompassed both wood-and-fabric biplanes before the Great War and the futuristic delta-winged Vulcan jet bomber. This classic biography by Harald Penrose – himself a significant figure in the development of aviation – tells his fascinating story.

Both Roy Chadwick and the author lived through the same contemporary events, so this biography of the great Avro designer not only deals with aircraft evolution but reflects the atmosphere of those days.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and drawings.
