'We all owe a great deal to George Edwards, though few people will know how much until they read this biography' - Sir John MajorHe was the designer of Britain's first V-bomber, the leader of the British Concorde team, and the man who made the bouncing bomb bounce. Yet George Edwards's name is all but forgotten today.The son of a widowed tobacconist from the East End of London, Edwards started his career in aviation in 1935, when he became a junior draughtsman in Vickers Aviation's Surrey factory for the princely sum of 5 guineas a week. Within ten years he was their chief designer; within thirty-five he was the managing director of British Aircraft Corporation.Written using thirty hours of exclusive interviews with Edwards himself, From Bouncing Bombs to Concorde is an illuminating look at a man who helped shape post-war Britain's aviation industry.
