Visitors to the Lake District today, seeing the quiet and peaceful Lake
Windermere, never guess that this was once the site of a factory
building military flying boats. But in the early ‘40s a factory was
built from scratch to produce Short Sunderlands, along with a complete
village to house the workers. The fascinating story of this forgotten
factory is told in this book, alongside the history of the big ‘planes
built there, which served with the RAF and other air arms until the
1950s.
