About this title

Synopsis

The Magic of a Name is the story of the genius, skill, hard work and dedication that gave the world both cars and aero engines unrivalled in their excellence.

Reviews

The name Rolls-Royce is synonymous with luxury, beauty, and unrivaled excellence in car manufacture, but many people don't realize that there is much more to Rolls-Royce than just cars. Most commercial jets are powered by Rolls-Royce engines, and the company remains one of the top three aero engine manufacturers in the world. In this book, the first of a definitive two-volume history of the Rolls-Royce company, Pugh recounts the fascinating first 50 years of the company. Researched from company archives, this is not a book simply about cars but instead a well-researched historical account of a company whose achievements paralleled the technological developments of the 20th century. Indeed, the expertise and engineering innovations of Henry Rolls and Charles Royce were crucial to the Allied victory. Useful for transportation libraries but also for history and military collections.DEric C. Shoaf, Brown Univ. Lib., Providence, RI
