Steve Coates

Steve Coates has researched German aviation of the 1930-1945 period for more than 20 years. Helicopter development has been a subject of particular fascination for him because of the limited material available on the topic and the general lack of appreciation of German pre-eminence in this field prior to 1945. He lives on the south coast of England with his wife and two daughters and works for the Pension Fund of a national U.K. bank.
