Airco: the Aircraft Manufacturing Company by Mick Davis
In the years prior to World War I, George Holt Thomas was an active supporter of aviation development and a promoter of its military potential. The pace of development saw him employing a young and talented aircraft designer by the name of Geoffrey de Havilland, and the aircraft they produced went on to make history. In this book, the author tells the story of Airco, the Aircraft Manufacturing Company, and of its range of products including the D.H.4 and D.H.9a designs.
Mick Davis has had an interest in the aircraft of World War One since the mid 1970s, particularly airframe design and histories of individual machines. Mick is a long-time member of the Society of World War One Aero Historians and is Deputy Editor of their journal. Resident - Darlington, Co Durham
