On with the Next (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798328942614)

Described as a genius by some, John F. Taylor was a pioneer in aviation. He designed and built Britain's first post-war homebuilt aeroplane in his first floor flat in East London, garnering media attention nationwide. With affordability and simplicity being John's goal from the outset, the Taylor Monoplane proved so popular that he then went on to produce his second plane, the Taylor Titch. Few British homebuilt aircraft have gone on to be made in such quantity, or in so many countries. Written by John's son Terry and granddaughter Emma, On with the Next tells the fascinating story of how, through his unswerving determination and innovation, this everyday engineer became such a well-loved name in the world of homebuilt aircraft and the legacy he left behind.
