Following growing concern about the possible effects of the sonic boom, the project was founded in 1966 to oppose the development of the Anglo-French supersonic airliner. A major feature of its activity was the production of a large quantity of mainly duplicated publicity material, much of it reprinting and commenting on the views of both supporters and opponents of Concorde.
Reference: Richard Wiggs, 'Concorde, the case against supersonic transport' (London, 1971); A Wilson, 'The Concorde fiasco' (Harmondsworth, 1973).
