In Great Britain in 1944/45 the Brabazon Committee on the future of
civil aviation published its report.  Where on the net can I find a
copy of the report? OR  can you find its correct title and publisher
so I can order a copy from my publick library?

I have found a book edited by Lord Brabazon on civil aviation from
that time.  I cannot confirm whether it is the book you are seeking,
but I suspect that it is, since the Brabazon Committee reports on file
at the Public Record Office are interim reports.

Would you like me to submit the title and publisher of this book as an
answer?

I aready have   "The Brabazon Story" by  Lord Brabazon of Tara,  It is
a copy of the official report that I seek.

This is not "The Brabazon Story".  Rather, it is a book on civil
aviation edited by Lord Brabazon.  The title of the report includes
the dates 1944 and 1945.  (There is no date of publication listed; two
booksellers guess that it was in 1944 or 1946.)

Yes it could be what I am seeking . But nothing posted on the net then?

The publication does not appear to be on the Internet.  (A general
rule seems to be that the older the document, the less likely it can
be found online.)

Hello kelmo-ga,

The title is "Air transport and civil aviation 1944-45".  The
publisher is Todd Publishing Co.  You can find this information by
searching for this title, or for the author/editor "Brabazon of Tara",
on the British Library Public Catalogue ( http://blpc.bl.uk/ ).  (I
cannot provide a link to the catalogue information directly; the
catalogue treats each search session as unique.)

The book is listed as available for sale by two booksellers: Lost
Books and Wyseby House Books.  I found this information by searching
for the author "Brabazon" on Bookfinder.com (
http://www.bookfinder.com/ ).  (Essentially the same information is
available, with prices in pounds not dollars, in the zShops of
Amazon.co.uk.)
