Description:
Shire Library book telling the story of "the track" at Brooklands from its opening in 1907 to the building of a large part of Concorde in factories in the Brooklands estate. Brooklands was the first purpose built motor racing track in the world and racing reached its peak during the classic years between the wars when it was the most famous racing venue in the world. It was also a vital part of the development of aviation, with many famous and successful aircraft emerging from factories at Brooklands, including the Hawker Hurricane fighter. All this and more is described in this amazingly detailed concise history of Brooklands.
