Abstract
From it's beginnings in the late 1800s, wind power engineering had developed in a seemingly haphazard way as early wind engineers worked on national wind power programmes. However, international co-operation of allies in engineering programmes during World War Two, e.g. for aircraft design, later became a precedent for co-operation in wind engineering. This paper details Edward Golding's impact on the development of wind power, in the UK and internationally, during the 1940s through to the 1960s. His book, ‘The generation of electricity by wind power’ (1955) and his subsequent leadership within a coordinated international development programme for wind power were seminal. Golding's work in wind power is set within his experience in the electricity supply industry.
