Re: Westland Whirlwind in WW2 (Wingleader Photo Archive 19)

Chris: They definitely exist at the PRO. For some perverted reason, thus far no book has reproduced them or even quoted them at length. Thus far the best source has been an article in Aeroplane Monthly in the mid-1980s. It definitely used those A&AEE reports. Years ago much hoopla was given even in this forum to Niall Corduroy's book on the Whirlwind, but it proved to be a gross disappointment with minimal coverage of the engineering, handling and performance aspects.
