The Kellner Affair tells the fascinating story of some of the most
influential people in the French luxury car business before, during
and after World War II and how they came together and fought
bravely against the Nazi occupation of Paris. They include the
famous coachbuilder Jacques Kellner, the designer Georges Paulin,
and Walter Sleator, the director of Rolls-Royce France, It details
how they formed a resistance group and gathered intelligence, and
how they were betrayed by double agents and some were executed in
1942. Volumes I and II also include an in-depth discussion of
aerodynamic cars, and the famous streamlined designs of Georges
Paulin. Volume III contains a large portfolio of period images of
Kellner-bodied cars such as Hispano-Suiza, Renault, Rolls-Royce,
Bugatti, Farman, and many more, along with period articles and a
wealth of design drawings as well as facsimile reprints of Kellner
brochures. The book relies heavily on newly discovered archive
material as well as private documents that have never previously
been published. This is one of several Dalton Watson publications
that celebrate coachbuilding, from Erdmann and Rossi, many years
ago to the recent Saoutchik, Talbot-Lago Grand Sport and Gaston
Grummer books and the forthcoming works on Park Ward, Pourtout, and
Hooper.
