ResumoJohn Dudley North must be almost the last of the select group of aircraft enthusiasts who started practical aviation in this country in the early years of the century. He was certainly the last to be actively concerned with the day-today activities of his company up to the day of his death, only outlived by Sir Thomas Sopwith and Oswald Short. “To become a pioneer in a youthful spirit of adventure is one thing. To use pioneering shrewdly and deliberately as a business policy is quite another. John North was able to do both.” So wrote Walter Gaunt in a special article published in January 1955 in the periodical Business .How this was achieved is some measure of my present task.
