Description: This astonishing book is built up from contemporary accounts of the life and exploits of the Hon. C.S. Rolls, co-founder of Rolls-Royce and pioneer motorist and aviator. He was the first Briton killed in an aircraft crash at only 33 years of age, which cut short what was already a brilliant career. Author David Baines has taken a most unusual approach to this book, and the result is a book that will appeal to every lover of automotive and aviation history. It is a great read and a must buy for any Roll-Royce owner or enthusiast.
