The Magic of a Name tells the story of the first 40 years of
Britain's most prestigious manufacturer - Rolls-Royce. Beginning
with the historic meeting in 1904 of Henry Royce and the Honourable
C.S. Rolls, and the birth in 1906 of the legendary Silver Ghost,
Peter Pugh tells a story of genius, skill, hard work and dedication
which gave the world cars and aero engines unrivalled in their
excellence. In 1915, 100 years ago, the pair produced their first
aero engine, the Eagle which along with the Hawk, Falcon and Condor
proved themselves in battle in the First World War. In the Second
the totemic Merlin was installed in the Spitfire and built in a
race against time in 1940 to help win the Battle of Britain. With
unrivalled access to the company's archives, Peter Pugh's history
is a unique portrait of both an iconic name and of British industry
at its best.
