Mike,
You have certainly piqued my interest and it it appears far more complicated than one think…..your suggestion about subcontractors and cost savings really makes one stop and ponder. There were many mergers of aircraft manufacturers during both wars and tempting offers to brilliant designers.
I am absolutely fascinated to see what ideas come. When one persons comment kickstarts someone else into action, it could be absolutely fascinating. Would the National Archives have a database of Airplane manufactures?
Cheers
James
