Slightly off topic , but surely related is the subject of the versatile material.. Plywood.

I was in the V&A yesterday and came across an interesting book
by Christopher Wilks called Plywood: a material story”

Hoping I might get it for Christmas! Doesn’t 
Particularly cover it’s use in car construction but
Has good information about its invention
Early patent holders: :-) , a namesake ” William Gardner! In the USA
Plus lots about WW1 aircraft construction, where Gordon England
Developed many of his ideas , leading to the Brooklands and Cup models etc.

Also lots about De Havilland Mosquitoes, an amazing plane.
Frank Costin also get a mention.... and Marcos.

Add it to your own Christmas list!
