Ministry of Aircraft Production UK

[WATU]

The MAP oversaw UK aircraft production for most of WW2. As well as the obvious actual production it included a range of technical departments involved in the design and development of aircraft systems and armaments.

Collectively these technical departments might have come under the umbrella of C.R.D. I cannot find what that acronym stands for. It gets referred to in various National Archives files but none that I have actually give it its full name.

Put me out of my misery please!

I can not unfortunately but the people in this article probably can.

The little known CDC was in the mix at the time as well - Cabinet Defence Committee
