W. D. Oddy & Company

W. D. Oddy & Company Ltd was a British manufacturer of wooden aircraft propellers, formed in 1919.

The limited liability company was formed in October 1919,[3] set up with £25,000 of share capital and Blackburn as co-director.

In just over a year from its establishment, Oddy had been granted other patents concerning the design, making and finishing of propellers.

These, built entirely from Honduras mahogany and fitted with a lightning conductor strip from tips to boss, were amongst the largest of their day.

Another Oddy propeller took the Alliance-Napier Seabird, powered by a Napier Lion engine, from London to Madrid in less than 8 hours.
