Slight wear to cover. ref ZKVQ Over sixty years ago, just before the start of the Second World War, a new factory was built at Broughton to construct Wellington Bombers for the RAF's expansion and wartime needs. Situated near Chester, the factory has remained part of the British aviation industry while older, traditional sites have come and gone. Its history has been both varied and colourful and the aircraft the factory has produced have been world-renowned. From the wartime Wellingtons and Lancasters to the world's first jet airliner, the Comet, and the wings for the most successful airliners in service today, Broughton has always been at the forefront of aviation technology. Over 9,500 aircraft of all types have left the factory and it can be said that the aircraft it built and repaired helped shorten the Second World War. Today, as Airbus commits itself to the most ambitious airliner ever constructed, the A380 double-decker 'Super Jumbo', Broughton is set to play an important role in the European aviation for a long time to come. 'Broughton: From wellington to Airbus' is the story of the phenomenal success of this Welsh factory from its early beginnings in the run up to war and its successful conversion into a state of the art production facility today. Used: Acceptable.
