It's hard to imagine a history of British engineering without
Rolls-Royce: there would be no Silver Ghost, no Merlin for the
Spitfire, no Alcock and Brown. Rolls-Royce is one of the most
recognisable brands in the world. But what of the man who designed
them? The youngest of five children, Frederick Henry Royce was born
into almost Dickensian circumstances: the family business failed by
the time he was 4, his father died in a Greenwich poorhouse when he
was 9, and he only managed two fragmented years of formal
schooling. But he made all of it count. In Sir Henry Royce:
Establishing Rolls-Royce, from Motor Cars to Aero Engines,
acclaimed aeronautical historian Peter Reese explores the life of
an almost forgotten genius, from his humble beginnings to his
greatest achievements. Impeccably researched and featuring almost
100 illustrations, this is the remarkable story of British success
on a global stage.
