A few squadrons of MkVs would have been very useful during August 1940 😀

Whoops – mods please delete.

I opened an account with Imgur – they don’t have any objections to posting on discussion forums. And they are free and as easy to use as PB was before the marketing drones turned it into the ad bestrewn minefield it is now.

Well if you understand the history of the US, in the 19th century and the early 20th century the north eastern states were the industrial powerhouse of the US. The companies that operated there attracted the financial and entrepreneurial efforts of the big investors who were based in New York and Boston. So if a company was being formed to manufacture aircraft or an established company was diversifying into aircraft production then it is likely that one would see a small concentration of aviation manufacturers there as well as the companies that provided off shelf subsidiary equipment. But also as has been pointed out there was also a concentration on the west coast which was no doubt a by product of both entrepreneurial effort and the fact that the 19th century gold, silver and other mineral booms had created pockets of wealth in the western states like California. Wealth that was available for investment in manufacturing industry. I doubt politics came into it.

Lovely work being done – keep it up.

Wonderful stuff – keep up the good work.

Just testing, mods.
