Brooklands: The Official Centenary History

Brooklands: The Official Centenary History

by David Venables (Author)

Synopsis

Brooklands, in its centenary year, is celebrated as a British institution of great importance to the history of car racing and aviation. But, as David Venables reveals in this glorious commemorative volume, the famous Surrey landmark, with its banked race circuit and aircraft manufacturing, hosted many other activities too, from motorcycle and bicycle racing to land speed records, not to mention stunts, wagers and even the odd scandal.
