German Aviation
In 1932 The German aviation industry produced a mere 36 planes and employed only 3,200 people, yet in just a few short years it will go on to create the largest and most formidable air force the world had ever seen. At its height it would employ 3 million workers, produce tens of thousands of aircraft and represent over half of total German war production. So how did this fledgling industry come to dominate the skies of Europe… and then how did it all go so wrong?

Vickers
