For larger British land-based airliners, we might add the Fairey FC1, Short 14/35, or even the Miles X.2 to the list.However, I'm with Skyblazer on the domination of trans-oceanic passenger flying boats rather than larger land planes. Operation of such 'boats requires a fairly rich clientele ... and that would have made up the bulk of the long-distance flying public in this WW2-less world.For all its horrors, WW2 represented tremendous fiscal stimulus à la Keynesian economic policies. Without the industrial demands of WW2 - not to mention the educational and training benefits afforded to returning veterans - it is hard to see what would have pulled the Western World out of the Great Depression-era economic malaise.
