Re: Any dispute about interpreting the BofB?

DuncanM, can you recommend a study of what Beaverbrook did and what effect he had on aircraft production?
My understanding is he worked on the phone, kept few records, and boasted of real achievements such as sorting out Castle Bromwich by axing bomber production there, sacking Nuffields and hiring Vickers to produce only Spitfires, while Corelli Barnett never understood that world-class productivity was achieved there.
