Extract

When you heard the title of my paper you were probably disappointed. Indeed, other lecturers have already discussed very similar subjects on this same occasion. To recall the most recent:

  • I. G. Bloch in 1963: “The Aeronautical Industry in the Europe of Tomorrow”

  • Mr. Handel Davies in 1968: “Some Thoughts about the Future of European Aeronautics”.

  • M. Louis Giusta in 1969: “European Co-operation in the Aviation Industry and its Future Development”.

On reading again these three papers, I was struck by the pertinence of most of the points which were made. In that case, one may ask, why refer to them again? The reason is that many predictions have failed to materialise and many warnings do not seem to have been sufficiently heeded.
