FLIGHT, 26 August 1955 331 COMMONWEALTH DIRECTORY 'JTHS year's directory of Commonwealth aircraft, ancillary and associated companies has been expanded to include a New Zealand section, and also index references to organizations described more fully earlier in this issue. In addition, the Canadian section has been greatly enlarged The development of the Canadian aircraft industry is an excellent example of the deliberate building-up of a complete supporting-firm framework in order to enable the main aircraft manu- facturers to remain largely independent of sources outside their own country. Whether deliberate and rapid, or gradual over the years, however, such development is essential. The work these smaller companies perform is amazingly varied, as the brief directory descriptions and the photographs may indicate. The list itself is by no means exhaustive: we believe, however, that it will provide a useful source of reference.
