Visual history of Westland aircraft unfolds through bold photos and designs spanning fixed and rotary wings.

Crammed with large photos and illustrations from the official Westland - now Leonardo - archive, this new volume provides a visual history of the company's lesser-known and more adventurous projects.

Fixed wing types, from the blended-wing Westland Dreadnought to Lysander, Whirlwind, Welkin and Wyvern-based projects and on to a variety of 1950s jet fighter designs are included but Westland's greatest achievements have been in the field of rotary wing aircraft - from adapted licence-built types such as the Wessex and Sea King to home-grown types such as Lynx and on to multinational collaborative efforts such as Merlin, Wildcat and the AW609 tiltrotor. Numerous unbuilt projects, such as attack and stealth helicopters as well as early military drones are also depicted. This illustrated standalone volume also serves as a companion to the authors' highly detailed hardback book on the same topic.
