Description

When the name WO Bentley is mentioned most people visualise large green cars thundering down the Mulsanne straight on their way to another Le Mans victory.

However WO was not all British Racing Green and laurel wreaths, he cut his engine design teeth firstly on railway engines as a Premium Apprentice with the Great Northern Railway Company (GNRC) and then on aeroplane and tank engines.

This book focuses on his work with aero-engines and explores the significant contribution that WO made to the war effort.

Hardback in very good condition for age, with good dust jacket.
