Reading the
bibliography to the text of a lecture delivered in 1970 and referred to by Crumpp as definitive proof of Britain's lack of control and stability standards:
Development of Airplane Safety and Control Courtland D. Perkins

The references stop at an ARC paper
PUBLISHED IN 1913 - NOT ONCE does the author refer to the ARC papers from 1937 through to 1939-48, nor does he have any references concerning British research during the war years, instead concentrating almost exclusively on American aeronautical research -
he had no idea of what sort of development the British had put in after 1913: this one is busted.
I wonder what we would see if we looked at the bibliograpies of most of the books referenced by Crumpp - how many of them concentrate on American research, ignoring Britain?
