3 However, World War II gave it a welcome momentum which led to more than1,600 artillery spotter Austers being built for the British and other air forces. The Rearsby factory was at maximumproduction during the war - but, as with all other aircraft manufacturing plants, it found a sudden collapse in militaryorders when peace came. However, there were returning flyers keen to keep their skills alive and the Autocrat andits successors were successful, not only in the UK but also across the world. Using the same basic airframe, theAuster constantly changed its shape and the 180hp Husky of 1960 was a very different animal from the original 55hpTaylorcraft Model C.
